The Brotherhood for Southron Freedom’s message had gone out through the ex-Confederate States. Give money to buy arms! Make ready for the day of reckoning with the Yankees! THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN! In Texas, the unscrupulous leaders of the Brotherhood had gathered a band of desperate, dangerous men and armed them with repeating rifles. Belle Boyd, the Rebel Spy, now working for the U.S. Secret Service, was on their trail. As she saw evidence of their growing strength and power, she knew that she would need help to defeat them. So she sent a message to her superiors, telling all she had learned and offering a solution to the menace. She said, ‘Send me three regiments of Cavalry... or Dusty Fog!’ J.T. Edson was a former British Army dog-handler who wrote more than 130 Western novels, accounting for some 27 million sales in paperback. Edson’s works - produced on a word processor in an Edwardian semi at Melton Mowbray - contain clear, crisp action in the traditions of B-movies and Western television series. What they lack in psychological depth is made up for by at least twelve good fights per volume. Each portrays a vivid, idealized “West That Never Was”, at a pace that rarely slackens.
