The thrilling true story of the female spy who helped save the
American Revolution Anna Smith Strong (1790–1812) was a fearless
woman who acted as a spy for George Washington during the
Revolutionary War. Recruited by Washington’s spymaster, Major
Benjamin Tallmadge, she joined the Culper Ring, a group of American
spies. General Washington placed a huge amount of trust in his
spies, and Anna helped pass him important messages at a great risk
to herself and her family. One of her cleverer devices was to hang
laundry on the line in a planned fashion so that other spies could
read the “message.” Had she been discovered by the British, she
would have faced jail or execution. Thrilling and dramatic, Anna
Strong tells the story of how one brave woman helped change the
course of American history. The book includes an author’s note, a
bibliography, an index, and a spy code so kids can get involved in
the action.
