The Vicksburg Spy, also known as Found and Lost: A Story of the Siege and Fall of the Great Rebel Stronghold, is a historical novel written by Edward Willett and published in 1864. The book tells the story of a Union spy named Frank Harvey who is sent to Vicksburg, Mississippi during the American Civil War. His mission is to gather intelligence on the Confederate army’s plans and movements. As Harvey begins his dangerous mission, he meets a beautiful Southern belle named Alice who becomes his confidant and ally. Together, they navigate the treacherous waters of war and espionage, all while trying to keep their true allegiances hidden. The novel is set against the backdrop of the Siege of Vicksburg, one of the most significant battles of the Civil War. The Union army, led by General Ulysses S. Grant, laid siege to the city for over six weeks, cutting off its supply lines and bombarding it with artillery. The Confederates, led by General John C. Pemberton, held out for as long as they could, but eventually surrendered on July 4, 1863. The Vicksburg Spy is a thrilling tale of espionage, romance, and war. It offers a unique perspective on one of the most important battles of the Civil War and sheds light on the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought on both sides.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
