This Day in U.S. Military History August 23

1861 - Allen Pinkerton, head of the new secret service agency of the Federal government, places Confederate spy Rose O’Neal Greenhow under house arrest in Washington, D.C. Greenhow was a wealthy widow living in Washington at the outbreak of the war. She was well connected in the capital and was especially close with Massachusetts Senator Henry Wilson. The Maryland native was openly committed to the Southern cause, and she soon formed a substantial spy network. Greenhow’s operation quickly paid dividends for the Confederacy. One of her operatives provided key information to Confederate General Pierre G. T. Beauregard concerning the deployment of Union General Irwin McDowell’s troops before the First Battle of Bull Run in July 1861. Beauregard later testified that this dispatch, along with further information provided by Greenhow herself, was instrumental in Beauregard’s decision to request additional troops. The move led to a decisive victory by the Rebels. It did not take the Federals long to track down the leaks in Washington. Pinkerton placed Greenhow under house arrest, and he soon confined other suspected women in her home. However, Greenhow was undeterred. She was allowed visitors, including Senator Wilson, and was able to continue funneling information to the Confederates. Frustrated, Pinkerton finally confined Greenhow and her daughter to the Old Capitol Prison for five months in early 1862. In June 1862, she and her daughter, “Little Rose,” were released and exiled to the South. Greenhow traveled to England and France to drum up support for the Southern cause, and she penned her memoirs while abroad. She returned to the Confederacy in September 1864, but a Yankee war vessel ran her ship aground in North Carolina. Weighted down by a substantial amount of gold, Greenhow’s lifeboat overturned and she drowned.

Here’s a start...does she know who sings it?

There’s a dear old flag floating over land and sea
And beneath its folds all men alike are free
Tis the emblem of a righteous liberty
The old red, white, and blue

Beautiful banner bright
Emblem of peace and right
No foe shall mar our stripes or stars. Wave on!
Flag of the brave and free honor we give to thee
The old red, white, and blue

In its glory long for a hundred years and more
It has kissed the sea and floated on the shore
And it stands on guard at freedoms open door
The old red, white, and blue

It is hallowed to by the blood our fathers gave
And it led the way our brotherhood to save
With a blood or stain it shall forever wave
The old red, white, and blue

The Rose

by Bette Midler

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed,
Some say love, it is a razor
That leads your soul to bleed,
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need,
I say love, it is a flower
And you, its only seed.
It’s the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance.
It’s the dream afraid of waking
That never takes a chance.
It’s the one who won’t be taken
Who cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely,
And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter;
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the Son’s love
In the spring becomes the rose.
