Hired by the Confederate government in Richmond when it was already in its death throes, Sarah Slater was the perfect agent for a courier between Richmond and the Confederate outpost in Montreal, Canada. Beautiful of face, curvaceous in form, spunky, flirtatious, and fluent in French she was the ideal candidate for a role that saw women often better suited for courier. Male agents faced hanging, women far less punishment. An additional benefit of her French fluency, she could claim protection as a Canadian citizen during casual interrogation. On her third and final trip to Canada in April of 1865 as Richmond lay in ashes, Sarah disappeared in New York. The messages for the Montreal office and the Confederate gold she was supposedly carrying also vanished. That mystery has fascinated historians for over 150 years. The Mystery of Sarah Slater…solved?
Autorenporträt
Betty J. Vaughn has written all of her life, winning awards in school and afterwards. Following a career teaching AP art history and painting, she wrote her first novel, Yesterday's Magnolia, quickly followed by four historical novels. The Man in the Chimney; Turbulent Waters; Run, Cissy, Run, and The Intrepid Miss LaRoque. The four novels in the historical series were all winners of the award for historical fiction from the NC Society of Historians. The latest novel, Tiger's Code, deals with concerns that currently plague our Nation as well as many others. A graduate of East Carolina University and a prize winning watercolorist, Mrs. Vaughn is a resident of Raleigh, NC, enjoys traveling, gardening, gourmet cooking, and reading. She is currently researching for her next book. "Mrs. Vaughn can consider herself a seasoned novelist. Her books are fast paced, action packed, and full of adventure. Her work isn't just a flurry of words, dry and boring. She is a master of literary technique as she weaves together a tapestry of words."
