Instructor: Beverly Eggert, retired Beaufort County English teacher, served as the featured presenter and program coordinator for the lecture series presented in partnership with the Beaufort History Museum and the Beaufort County Library, as well as lecturer and program director for the Santa Elena History Center, and presenter for the South Carolina Humanities Center. Description: Female spies conducted extensive skullduggery during the Civil War. A few women were so involved in espionage that they became spymasters. Rose O’Neal Greenhow was one of those spymasters. She used her social connections and charm to gather intelligence from powerful Union politicians. One coded message she sent in 1861 helped Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard win the First Battle of Bull Run.
