Biographical History
Belle Boyd was a Confederate spy. She was born Martinsburg, Virginia and imprisoned for spying in 1862 and 1863. She went to England in 1864 and there married Sam Wilde Hardinge, one of the Union officers who had guarded her. After his death several years later she returned to the U.S. In 1865 she published a sensational memoir, "Belle Boyd in camp and prison". It appears that she did make several appearances in dramatic productions and gave some public lectures, but the woman who acted and lectured for many years as Belle Boyd was often denounced as an impostor.
