Old report of the St. Albans Raid and the Picture in Question

If the KY Legislature met during a short recess, it is highly likely no records exist of what happened during the recess.
I believe it was probably a small group of southern leaning legislators that met with our as of yet unknown heroine , as most of the Kentucky Legislature were Republicans and would not officially honor a southern spy/courier, or some one who gave aid to the south.
I would suggest calling the KY Historical Society. Some one there should be able to assist you.

The Canadian government was trying to attempt a difficult balancing act of trying to maintain a neutral position during the Civil War.
There was an element of the US Government (Seward) who wanted to invade/annex Canada.
This was one of the reasons Seward purchased Alaska from the Russians. Being surrounded, it would make it easier for the Northwest Territories of Canada to break away and become a part of the US. The Canadian Government at the time did not have the military strength to prevent it.
