================================================== ==SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1================================================== == DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADOLESCENTES 2022“UN SALTO EN EL TIEMPO”Narrado por: DORIANY SÁNCHEZDesde: PERÚUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church  29 DE JULIOBELLEROYD, ESPIACIÓN«Engañosa es la gracia y vana la hermosura, pero la mujer que teme a Jehová, ésa será alabada» (Proverbios 37:30, RV95).Belle Boyd nació diecisiete años antes del comienzo de la Guerra entre los Estados, en una gran plantación del valle de Shenandoah, en Virginia. La guerra apenas había comenzado cuando los soldados de la Unión entraron en su casa y quisieron ondear su bandera sobre la casa. Cuando uno empujó a su madre, ella sacó una pistola y le disparó. Los oficiales de la Unión la interrogaron y decidieron que el disparo estaba justificado. Poco después, la señorita Boyd comenzó a espiar para la Confederación, utilizando el hotel de su padre como tapadera. A menudo, durante sus misiones de infiltración en territorio enemigo, coqueteaba y charlaba con los soldados y oficiales de la Unión para obtener información sobre las próximas batallas. Finalmente, alguien la descubrió y fue desterrada al sur.Dos meses más tarde, volvió a hacer de las suyas y, desafiando el fuego enemigo que le hizo un agujero de bala en sus faldas, entregó información sensible al general «Stonewall» Jackson. Esta valiosa información dio ventaja a los confederados y les ayudó a derrotar al general Nathaniel Banks y sus fuerzas en la batalla de Winchester. En otra ocasión, la señorita Boyd entregó a dos corteses soldados de caballería de la Unión a los piquetes confederados como prisioneros de guerra. ¿Su crimen? La acompañaron inocentemente a su casa a través de las líneas confederadas.El 29 de julio de 1862, Belle Boyd fue capturada por el ejército de la Unión y recluida en la antigua prisión del Capitolio en Washington DC Era la primera vez que era capturada, pero no sería la última. Poco después de ser liberada un mes después como parte de un programa de intercambio de prisioneros y enviado de vuelta a Richmond, comenzó a espiar de nuevo. La señorita Boyd fue arrestada varias veces más. En 1864 se fue a Inglaterra, donde conoció y se murió con un oficial de la Unión. Él murió poco después de terminar la guerra. Como es lógico, Belle se convirtió en actriz. También escribió un libro y dio dramáticas conferencias sobre sus años como espía.Algunas personas creen que las circunstancias extremas hacen que la mentira y el engaño sean aceptables, pero yo no creo que Dios lo vea así. A pesar de su valentía y sus logros, Belle luchó contra una enfermedad mental y, en muchos sentidos, sufrió una vida problemática. Quizá las características que le permitieron colarse entre las líneas enemigas se encontraron en su perdición. Es algo en lo que hay que pensar.

She was known by many names - the Siren of the Shenandoah, the Rebel Joan of Arc, the Cleopatra of Secession – but when the first shots were fired at Fort Sumter in April 1861, she was just seventeen-year-old Belle Boyd of Martinsburg. By the time the Civil War was over she would be one of the most dangerous women in America.Belle would use her beauty and charm for the cause of the Confederacy throughout the Civil War, seducing and betraying one Union man after another. Her intelligence would determine the outcome of battles, and while her cause was unjust, she remains one of the most memorable and dashing figures of the Civil WarVisit us online at: Itshometownhistory.comSupport our podcast by becoming a patron at: Patreon.com/itshometownhistoryEpisode Sponsor:Your weight doesn't reflect your willpower.

Both Book Cougars rave about Jung Yun's forthcoming novel O BEAUTIFUL (St. Martin's Press, Nov 9). We've been (im)patiently waiting for this novel and we give it a solid four thumbs up! Pre-order it now or ask your library to order a copy, or ten. Thanks to Juliet Grimes for sending us a copy of CLARK AND DIVISION by Naomi Hirahara (Soho Crime, Aug 3). Chris highly recommends this historical mystery set in 1944 Chicago about a Japanese-American family from California that is relocated to the Windy City after being incarcerated in a concentration camp by the U.S. Government. Emily read three very different novels. For a good light summer read, she recommends THE APOLOGY PROJECT by Jeannette Escudero (Lake Union Publishing, Aug 1) and if you're looking for a page-turning thriller, check out HER PERFECT LIFE by Hank Phillip Ryan (Forge Books, Sep 14). A MOUTHFUL OF AIR by Amy Koppelman was originally published in 1992. Two Dollar Radio has a new edition coming out Aug 17. Emily highly recommends this novel that has been compared to Charlotte Perkins Gilman's “The Yellow Wallpaper” and Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar. This is an intense and compassionate novel about a woman struggling with postpartum depression. In Biblioadventures we were thrilled to go on our first IN PERSON author event since the pandemic moved events online. We ventured to the Old Lyme Phoebe Griffin Noyes Library to see Clarie J. Griffen talk about her new biography, A REBELLIOUS WOMAN, about Belle Boyd (1844-1900). The event was held on the library's front lawn. It was so lovely to once again sit side-by-side listening to an author talk about her work. Chris binged the new HEMINGWAY mini-series and Emily went to the Big Apple to visit Aunt Ellen — of course they visited a couple bookstores. Listen to Episode 135 to hear about all of the above and more!

One of the Confederacy's most notorious spies during the Civil War was 18-year-old Belle Boyd, who gained intelligence by seducing soldiers. She was imprisoned by the Union Army for the first time on this day in 1862. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Award Winning author Steve French offers his take on Confederate Spy Belle Boyd. Belle Boyd, who lived in Martinsburg, Virginia (now West Virginia) is one of the most interesting female characters of the entire war.

Given a choice between common sense and her version of things, men always leaned toward her version. It was a gift that served the Confederacy well. Read more here: http://www.encyclopediavirginia.org/Boyd_Belle_1844-1900

Theaters have always shared a special place in history. We crave to be entertained and many of us desire to entertain. Theaters are a place of strong emotions, both those played out by actors and those evoked in the audience. Paranormal activity feeds off of those kinds of emotions. The Capitol Theater was built in the center of Salt Lake City and has entertained Utahans for more than a hundred years. Tragedy has been a part of the Capitol Theater's history as well and that has helped add to the theater's reputation as being a haunted location. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Capitol Theater! The Moment in Oddity is by Bob Sherfield and features the Spruce Goose and This Day in History is by Jessica Bell and features the birth of Belle Boyd. This location was suggested by listener Sue Story and the Research Assistant was Ren Davenport.

On Tuesday, November 11, at noon, Karen Abbott delivered a Banner Lecture entitled "Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy: Four Women Undercover in the Civil War." After shooting a Union soldier in her front hall with a pocket pistol, Belle Boyd became a courier and spy for the Confederate army, using her charms to seduce men on both sides. Emma Edmonds cut off her hair and assumed the identity of a man to enlist as a Union private, witnessing the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. Rose O’Neale Greenhow, engaged in affairs with powerful northern politicians to gather intelligence for the Confederacy. Elizabeth Van Lew, a wealthy Richmond abolitionist, hid behind her proper southern manners as she orchestrated a far-reaching espionage ring. Using a wealth of primary source material and interviews with the spies’ descendants, Karen Abbott illuminates one of the most fascinating yet little-known aspects of the Civil War: the stories of four courageous women—a socialite, a farmgirl, an abolitionist, and a widow—who were spies.

On Tuesday, November 11, 2014, Karen Abbott delivered a Banner Lecture entitled "Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy: Four Women Undercover in the Civil War."

Using a wealth of primary source material and interviews with the spies' descendants, Karen Abbott illuminates one of the most fascinating yet little-known aspects of the Civil War: the stories of four courageous women—a socialite, a farmgirl, an abolitionist, and a widow—who were spies. Abbott is a featured contributor to Smithsonian's history blog, Past Imperfect, and also writes for Disunion, the New York Times series about the Civil War. She is the author of several books, including American Rose: A Nation Laid Bare: The Life and Times of Gypsy Rose Lee (2010) and Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy: Four Women Undercover in the Civil War (2014).

If group biography is one of the exciting new trends in life-writing (and some say it is), Karen Abbott– the historian, not to be confused with the novelist-proves one of its deftest practitioners- first, in her debut Sin in the Second City, then in the follow-up American Rose (which we discussed back in 2012) and now in her new book: Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy: Four Women Undercover in the Civil War (Harper, 2014). Tracking four women- two Confederates and two Unionists- across battle lines, continents and even, at times, genders, with great verve Abbott weaves together a series of stories, connected by the conflict in which they are occurring and yet also uniquely each women’s own. The story of the American Civil War has been told umpteen times, but it is an unexpected element within the familiar which Abbott is concerned with exploring here. Tales of our heroines- Belle Boyd, Emma Edmonds,Rose O’Neale Greenhow and Elizabeth Van Lew, all women most readers will be encountering for the first time- yield an untraditional perspective on women’s participation in the war whilst Abbott also gives fresh life to well-known figures: Stonewall Jackson, painted here in broad vivid colors, emerges from the familiar tapestry in his full, eccentric glory almost as a character born anew. Reviewing her first book, USA Today labeled Abbott a “pioneer of sizzle history.” It’s a label that’s stuck and one which is apt for a mode of story-telling driven by such a propulsive kinetic energy, as Abbott’s is. But it’s important to note that the stories she’s telling are sturdy, thoroughly researched and culturally necessary. The word “sizzle” can imply a frothy effervescence, a flash in the pan, and these stories- the stories of these four women in Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy and in her other books- are anything but.

New York Times bestselling author Karen Abbott discusses her new novel Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy (on-sale: 9-2-14)with @HarperAudio_US Producer Erin Wicks. This episode also includes an excerpt from the audio edition performed by Karen White. About Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy Belle Boyd Emma Edmonds Rose O'Neal Greenhow Elizabeth Van Lew In Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy, bestselling author Karen Abbott tells the spellbinding true story of four women who risked everything—their homes, their families, and their very lives—during the Civil War. Seventeen-year-old Belle Boyd, an avowed rebel with a dangerous temper, shot a Union soldier in her home and became a courier and spy for the Confederate army, using her considerable charms to seduce men on both sides. Emma Edmonds disguised herself as a man to enlist as a Union private named Frank Thompson, witnessing the bloodiest battles of the war and infiltrating enemy lines, all the while fearing that her past would catch up with her. The beautiful widow Rose O'Neal Greenhow engaged in affairs with powerful Northern politicians, used her young daughter to send information to Southern generals, and sailed abroad to lobby for the Confederacy, a journey that cost her more than she ever imagined. Elizabeth Van Lew, a wealthy Richmond abolitionist, hid behind her proper Southern manners as she orchestrated a far-reaching espionage ring—even placing a former slave inside the Confederate White House—right under the noses of increasingly suspicious rebel detectives. Abbott's pulse-quickening narrative weaves the adventures of these four forgotten daredevils into the tumultuous landscape of a broken America, evoking a secret world that will surprise even the most avid enthusiasts of Civil War–era history. With a cast of real-life characters, including Nathaniel Hawthorne, General Stonewall Jackson, Detective Allan Pinkerton, Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, and Emperor Napoléon III, Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy shines a dramatic new light on these daring—and, until now, unsung—heroines.
