Best Answer

Various people spied for the Union. The Pinkerson men did work for them and other civilians. At the time there were touring theater companies and several had actors/ actresses that spied because they moved through the south. One interesting spy was Charles Heidsick a Frenchman who was from a wealthy champagne family. He disguised himself as a bartender and worked on the Mississippi steamers. He carried info for the confederates.

Many spied. Brinks men were hired, but others also spied. There was a southern actress who spied for several years. She is buried in the military cemetery at the Presido in San Francisco.
