Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Bill Wilson (Author photo) (illustrator). 314, [4] pages. DJ is worn, soiled, with small chips and tears and is price clipped. Signed by the author on fep. Harnett T. Kane (1910-1984) was the author of ''Louisiana Hay Ride'' and 25 other books of fiction and nonfiction. Mr. Kane specialized in books about the South. ''Louisiana Hay Ride,'' which exposed political corruption, was published in 1941. Among his other works were "The Smiling Rebel", ''The Bayous of Louisiana,'' ''Spies for the Blue and the Gray,'' ''The Gallant Mrs. Stonewall,'' ''Queen New Orleans'' and ''The Romantic South.'' He was a frequent contributor of travel articles and book reviews to The New York Times, and also wrote for Reader's Digest, National Geographic and Saturday Review. Mr. Kane began his writing career while attending Tulane University, contributing articles to The New Orleans Item. After graduating in 1931, he worked as a fulltime reporter for the newspaper for a number of years. Derived from a Kirkus review: In a well fictionalized biography imagination has provided the emotional reactions, the family relations, the agonizing weighing of decision as Belle Boyd of Martinsburg undertook the role that was to make her famous as a Confederate spy. The body of the story stands on its own as factual reporting of successive events and the final impression is of an authentic portrait. Isabella Maria Boyd (May 9, 1844 - June 11, 1900), best known as Belle Boyd (or as Cleopatra of the Secession or Siren of the Shenandoah), was a Confederate spy in the American Civil War. She operated from her father's hotel in Front Royal, Virginia, and provided valuable information to Confederate General Stonewall Jackson in 1862. Boyd's espionage career began by chance. According to her 1866 account, a band of Union army soldiers heard that she had Confederate flags in her room on July 4, 1861, and they came to investigate. They hung a Union flag outside her home. Then one of the men cursed at her mother, which enraged Boyd. She pulled out a pistol and shot the man, who died. A board of inquiry exonerated her of murder, but sentries were posted around the house and officers kept close track of her activities. She profited from this enforced familiarity, charming at least one of the officers whom she named in her memoir as Captain Daniel Keily. General James Shields and his staff gathered in the parlor of the local hotel in mid-May 1862. Boyd hid in the closet in the room, eavesdropping through a knothole that she enlarged in the door. She learned that Shields had been ordered east from Front Royal, Virginia. That night, she rode through Union lines, using false papers to bluff her way past the sentries, and reported the news to Colonel Turner Ashby. For her contributions, she was awarded the Southern Cross of Honor. Stonewall Jackson also gave her captain and honorary aide-de-camp positions. Boyd was arrested at least six times but somehow evaded incarceration. In March 1864, Boyd attempted to travel to England, but she was intercepted by a Union blockade and sent to Canada where she met Union naval officer Samuel Wylde Hardinge. The two later married in England, and had a daughter named Grace. Boyd became an actress in England after her husband's death to support her daughter. Following the death of her husband in 1866, she and her daughter returned to the United States. Boyd assumed the stage name Nina Benjamin to perform in several cities, eventually ending up in New Orleans where she married John Swainston Hammond in March 1869, a former British Army officer who fought for the Union Army during the Civil War.
