Elizabeth van lew

As I sit in my small extremely cramped cell I think about how things could have gone differently; how I could have denied getting captured from the confederates. I knew that I shouldn’t have walked outside all alone that night. So now I am stuck inside this tiny little room trapped with 15 other people. Then a women walks in and hands an old man a book to read. I am very confused about how this could happen, she is a Confederate soldier and is bringing us books and extra food. As I watch the man slowly open the book I see a smile starting to form on his face. He seems to be reading but he looks so happy. I walk over to him and look to see what is in this book. All I saw a bunch of words underlined in this small book.
Then I whispered “What is in this book, and who was that lady that gave you it.
“You don’t know who that is, that is Elizabeth Van Lew, otherwise known as crazy bet.” He said. “This is a code and she is going to help us escape, I’ll see if she can rescue you next” Then I looked up and saw her again. She was talking to the man that I had just talked to. I saw her smile and then she walked over to me.
As she handed me some bread and a book she whispered
“There is a code in this book read the underlined words and follow what it says, I’ll be back tomorrow if you have any more questions.” Then just as the guard glared at her she left and went over to talk to them. I saw them smile and it looked like she was charming them. They smiled and she walked away. As she was walking she quickly winked at me and I knew that she was here for a good cause. She was a spy for the Union. Then I got busy on trying to find out what crazy Bet was trying to tell me. After two hours I finally figured out what it said. As the curios others in the jail cell watched I slowly read the message.
"At the break of dawn next Sunday go to the well nearest the prison, then turn left into the woods. Follow the north star, and you will be led to freedom." When Sunday finally rolled around all of the prisoners in my cell got ready to leave. Crazy Bet took the keys and snuck us out the back door, and led us to the well. When we almost got caught she distracted the security guards. I was really dark and everyone wanted to go back but there was no turning back now, so we kept on going and eventually found one of the Union troops. We went back and told them everything that we have heard and saw. Elizabeth Van Lew was one of the most important women spies in the civil war.
