Born on this day in 1826, Lafayette Curry Baker was a Union spy, detective and author. He was a bit of a bumbler as a spy, but a very successful sleuth. Among his accomplishments as a detective is the arrest of rebel spy Belle Boyd and the arrest of several of the conspirators in the Lincoln assassination. Here is a link to a biographical article:
