Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of the Civil War, the narrative follows Loreta Janeta Velazquez, a Cuban immigrant who disguised herself as Harry T Buford to fight for the Confederacy. She not only organized a regiment but also fought in key battles and engaged in romantic relationships with both men and women. Transitioning to espionage, she operated as a double agent, trafficking vital resources for her cause. Originally published in 1876, her story remains controversial, with scholars debating its authenticity as an autobiography or a work of fiction.
