Come hear Frank Mitchell’s telling of the exciting stories of Civil War spies.

One of the greatest spies in fictional history was James Bond. James Bond had “M” to report to. Was Abraham Lincoln “M” for a group of Union spies? What did Allan Pinkerton, George Sharpe, Lafayette Baker, and Elizabeth Lew, do in the Civil War? They might not have driven an Aston Martin, or used high tech weapons, like James Bond, but their adventures were every bit as dangerous and exciting.
