Kill Dusty Fog (2013)

It just occurred to me that novelists-like Edson, in fact all novelists are plain liars, who make up untruthful stories. Some are more pleasant to read than others. For instance, both Boyd and Greenhow, about whom he is constantly writing, and rather late in the war, were both very plain looking, not at all berautiful. Both lasted about a year as spies, not more, and were suspected from the very beginning. By the middle of 1862, they were out of action. Boyd in fact was exiled to Canada where she met and married a Union officer. Of course the Confederacy made a fuss of them for propaganda purposes, and credited them with far, far more than they accomplished-which at best, was not very much. Greenhow was nearly 50 when the war began. They both died in their middle 50s. Boyd from a Heart attack and Greenhow by drowning when running the blockade to get back to the States from Britain, where she had been living. Off the two, I believe that Greenhow was far more dedicated to the Confederacy than Boyd,

What, in Edson's warped view, is a "Hebraic face"...?? He shows a very definite anti-Jewish bias, against the Jewish People. I wonder waht they did to him, collectively, I mean. Or is it the usual Christian Anti-Semitism which poisons humanity, and has don e for nearly 17-1800 years, ever since the Council of Nicaea, (where 3-4 "bishops" stabbed and killed each other over dogma disputes) Presided over by the Roman Emperor Constantine., who, although erroneously named as the first Christian Emperor, never was. He was a Pagan, and the Chief Priest of the Sun god,. Sol Invictus.

The first Christian Emperor was Theodosius in about 3 80, that is, 55 years after the Council, and only very late in life after recovering from a serious illness.
