The Lady in Black is one of the popular legends surrounding the islands in Boston Harbor. She was Mrs. Andrew Lanier of Georgia, whose Confederate husband was imprisoned in Fort Warren on George's Island in 1861-2. The story of her heroic journey into the heart of Yankeeland, to engineer her husband's escape ... her capture, and eventual execution by hanging is still told today. And still today, we are told, her ghost can be seen on dark nights, walking the walls and corridors of the old fort.
