Loreta Janeta Velazquez

    Deze auteur staat bekend om haar opmerkelijke levensverhaal, waarin ze naar verluidt de rol aannam van een mannelijke Confederale soldaat tijdens de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog. Haar memoires beschrijven veldslagen en ontmaskeringen die haar uiteindelijk leidden tot spionagewerk voor de Confederatie, zelfs als dubbelspion. De verhalen over haar transformaties en dubbele rollen benadrukken de complexiteit van identiteit en loyaliteit in een turbulente tijd. De mysterieuze omstandigheden rond haar dood voegen slechts een extra laag van fascinatie toe aan haar verhaal.
