Rose O'neal Greenhow was born in Tobbaco, Maryland. One of her first accomplishments was the ten word message sent to Gneral Pierre G.T. Beauregard causing him to win the battle Bull Run. She was such a successful spy for the confederacy, Jeferson Davis credit her with the victory at Manassas. She was sentenced to house arrest for spying and later was sent to the Old Capital Prison. Being in jail hadn't stopped her from sending cryptic messages to the Confederacy through secret places such as inside a women's bun of hair. After she got out she traveled to Britan as a proagandist where she became engaged to Second Earl Granville. In 1964, she boarded the Condor, a British blockade-runner which was to take her back home. Right before she was to reach her destination, the ship ran aground at the mouth of the Cape Fear River near Wilmington, North Carolina. Rose had to get off the ship and escape into a rowboat in order to avoid a Union gun ship comming towards her ship. She never made it to shore and was burried October 1864.======
