About the event

The Spy and the State: The History of American Intelligence
Five months after the outbreak of the Civil War, Henry Shelton Sanford, who was officially the US Minister to Belgium but unofficially the Union’s spymaster in Europe, penned a letter marked “Confidential” to his boss, Secretary of State William Seward. In it, he outlined serious weaknesses in the Union’s intelligence efforts in Europe and urged Seward to change the system. Sanford was ahead of his time and truly a pioneering figure in American intelligence history.

Join historian Dr. Jeffrey Rogg for a conversation about Sanford and his legacy as Jeff discusses his new book, The Spy and the State: The History of American Intelligence.

When: Thursday, July 17 5:30 - 7 p.m.
Where: Sanford Museum 520 E. 1st Street
