Spies, Scouts, and Secrets in the Gettysburg Campaign
Archival Summary & Scope
Tom Ryan’s *Spies, Scouts, and Secrets in the Gettysburg Campaign* offers the first comparative study of intelligence operations during the pivotal Gettysburg campaign. Described by Dr. Vince Houghton of the International Spy Museum as "the most detailed account you will find about intelligence operations," this groundbreaking work reveals how Confederate General Robert E. Lee employed cavalry, civilians, newspapers, and spies to guide his June-July 1863 invasion. It simultaneously examines the Union Army of the Potomac's intelligence and counterintelligence efforts under Generals Hooker and Meade, highlighting their use of cavalry, the Signal Corps, and the innovative Bureau of Military Information. Ryan's research provides a critical look at the indispensable role of information in shaping this decisive campaign.Archival Categorization Notes
