- Synopsis
- She walked the streets of Richmond dressed in farm woman&’s clothing, singing and mumbling to herself. Soon her suspicious and condescending neighbors began referring to her as &“Crazy Bet.&” But she wasn&’t mad; she had purpose in her doings. She wanted people to think she was insane so that they would be less likely to ask her questions and possibly discover her goal: to defeat the South and to end slavery. Elizabeth Van Lew, of Crazy Bet, was General Ulysses S. Grant&’s spy in the capital city of the Confederacy.
