New SpyCast episode!
It���s 1864, and the Confederacy is losing the Civil War. A group of spies and saboteurs has set up a base in Montreal, Canada. Today, we would call this a sanctuary or safe haven. Canada would become home to several infamous Confederate missions, many of which inspired Tim Wendel's historical fiction masterpiece, Rebel Falls. Though the tales are fictional, they are grounded in real-life stories from history. Guest host Dr Mark Jacobson sits down with @Tim_Wendel as he takes us across the border into the world of Civil War espionage.
