Civil War Spies

Harriet Tubman—Union Spy

Civil War spy Pauline Cushman-Fryer narrowly escaped execution for her service to the Union cause. She is buried in the San Francisco National Cemetery at the Presidio. Though trained as an actress, Pauline Cushman-Fryer's legacy is her service as a spy for the Union during the Civil War.  During a stage performance in Louisville, Kentucky, Cushman-Fryer boldly proposed a toast to Jefferson Davis at the behest of Union officers (in the script, the toast was supposed to go to President Lincoln). Impressed by her "loyalty," Confederate officers took her into their confidence. Months later, a curious Confederate sentry arrested her with information on the whereabouts of the Army of Tennessee and she was sent to Gen. Bragg's headquarters. When her identity as a spy was confirmed, Pauline Cushman-Fryer was sentenced to be hanged.
