Notes

  • The most comprehensive book about Rose has to be Ann Blackman's Wild Rose: The True Story of a Confederate Spy.
  • I also found an old book, Rebel Rose: Life of Rose O'Neale Greenhow, Confederate Spy, by Ishbel Ross particularly useful (if pretty rah-rah Confederacy, which gets kind of intense).
  • Rose's memoir is very readable, too.

    • Music

    • Marnie, from Bernard Hermann's score
    • Don't Worry, by Zoe Keating
    • Debut, by Christopher Ferreira
    • El cascabel de plata, by Federico Durand
    • Technology, by Gareth Dickson
    • Longest Road, by Gaussian Curve
    • Troubles, by Sylvain Chauvau
    • Compesicion en Rojo, by Bernardo Bonezzi
