Answer:
After the Civil War, an unusual public figure took to the stage in New York. Her name was Richmonia Richards, and she delivered a scintillating account of wartime feats of espionage that must have delighted her Northern viewers. But two things about Richards stood out—the name was an alias, and she was a woman of color. Both borrowed names and black skin play into the amazing story of Mary Richards Bowser, a woman now recognized as a Union spy who actually made her way into the Confederate White House during the Civil War.
