∙ 13y agoIn 1864 Rose boarded the Condor, a British blockade-runner which was to take her home. Just before reaching home the ship ran aground at the mouth of the Cape Fear River near Wilmington, North Carolina. In order to avoid the Union gunboat that was pursuing her ship, Rose fled in rowboat, but was never seen again. Her little boat capsized and she was dragged down by the gold she had received in royalties for her book.
