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

Music

• We hear a bunch of Ryland, by Julian Lage off his World's Fair LP.
• We hear the Flamingos do Where or When.
• We hear Chilly Gonzalez' Salon Salloon
• And finish out on Small Memory by Jon Hopkins

Notes

• There's a bunch out there about the Camel Corps. You'll have fun Googling around. But some of the best details in here, including the remarkable thing about the Red Ghost, comes from this article from a 1961 issue of American Heritage.
