Secret Service
'Secret Service' Summary
Albert Richardson, a reporter for the New York Tribune, volunteered to go undercover in the American south to report on the secession crisis. After the war broke out, he became a war correspondent, sending dispatches from the front lines. In 1863, he was captured by the Confederates and spent the next 18 months in prison camps. After escaping, he crossed the snowy Appalachian Mountains in the dead of winter to reach Union lines. Secret Service is Richardson's own personal memoir of his wartime adventures, offering readers a rousing historical narrative presented with a journalist's eye for detail.Book Details
