Confederate "Belle"
Born in Martinsburg, West Virginia, she was.
Belle Boyd...
She suffered through so much.
Even from the disease, Typhoid.
She's one of the most famous Confederate spies.
Providing information to General Turner Ashby and "Stonewall" Jackson.
Quite a gal she was... I think she even made pies.
Never afraid to stand up for her Southern home.
She once killed a Union man for simply pushing her mother.
Oh my, and to think she was always ready to roam.
So many secrets crossed on her path.
So much information which she did withhold.
Never ceasing to be herself and very bold.
Using her charm to win over her captors.
Quite witty she was.
So much that she escaped the grasp of those vicious male raptors.
During the war, she was imprisoned three times.
She made few heroic rides, only to get her message across those enemy lines.
Then one day, after so long and such a rough trip, she was gone.
The church so beautifully rang Heaven's chimes.
For the Siren of the South now lay dead in the simple, early year of 1900.
