The Smiling Rebel

I just finished reading "The Smiling Rebel", by Harnett Kane. That is the book I talked about in earlier posts. (In case you didn't read them, it is about the life of Belle Boyd, who is a Confederate spy during the Civil War.) The book, although it was a novel, contained many facts about Belle's life. All the while, though, it keeps the amazing story of Belle Boyd interesting. The book summarizes her life  and provides information while keeping the feel of a fictional novel.It is very well written, and very engaging. I recommend this book to anyone that likes historical fiction.
