Emmeline Piggott

Emmeline Piggott

Emmeline Piggott was a Confederate States of America spy from North Carolina. For several years, she hid secret messages in her skirt and carried them between New Bern, North Carolina and the sea ports. She was almost caught several times. Eventually, Union forces arrested her on charges of blockade running, and she was sent back home.
