A whole book? Yuk!

I have to agree with you Betty. Considering this whole kidnap - assassination plot....the Confederates must have been desperate to try a ham actor without any military experience for such an important task.

Well, it was actually about sex during the Civil War, but to sum it up, yes - it was mostly about STDs and prostitutes with STDs. A whole book.

I agree with Betty too. They could have done a lot worse than Lewis, particularly considering the nature of the work.
