Tough but tenderhearted

   As mentioned earlier, Frank Stringfellow was a man of sensitivity and high moral character. He hated being forced to harm other men, and whenever possible he simply bashed them on the head whenever the need arose, rather than cause a more lasting or even terminal injury. However, he did have to shoot his way out of many situations, and no doubt killed his share of Union soldiers. After the war, he married his patient and understanding fiancée and became a preacher.

    Writer Harnett T. Kane has called Belle Boyd "the most appealing spy of the war." In the case of Frank Stringfellow, considering the wealth and reliability of the information he gathered for the Confederacy, it’s easy to see why he has been called the most dangerous—even if he did look fine in a hoop skirt.
