Read this paragraph from The Dark Gamec.
Another thing that changed very little in the years between the wars was the means of obtaining
military intelligence. Although the use of photography and the telegraph brought some technological
advances, the craft of spying on the enemy's army still relied on fieldwork. For the most part,
intelligence was gathered in simple ways. Prisoners of war and deserters were interrogated. The
Union Army was always interested in hearing what runaway slaves had to report. And, of course,
both armies relied on cavalry scouts, signal intercepts, visual observations, and captured
correspondence.
