Belle Boyd is a professional when it comes to capitalizing on her status of spy. Known to be a confederate spy, General “Stonewall” Jackson got secret information on the activities of the Union Armies in the area of Shenandoah. The successful receipt of this piece of information was traceable to Belle Boyd.

After some time, “The Actress” was captured and was later thrown into prison. After a while, they freed her. Belle later made an appearance after some years in her confederate uniform. She also authored a book about her spy life.
