Review of 'Blood Meridian'.

Oh, lets not forget sheer ambiguity that comes thru as just the facts, just the way in which it is. The banality of this hell world maybe is its most annoying undercurrent. There had been a John Glanton and a gang of scalp hunters under contract to the Mexican Governor of Chihuahua. John Glanton was a Texan originally from South Carolina by way of Tennessee, like so many other Texans. He had a particularly colourful background like so many other Texan lead runners.

Blood Meridian is also an advisory story on the hazards of privatization of army and law enforcement. Chihuahua rescue. Oh, lets not forget sheer paradox that comes thru as just the facts, just the way in which it is. There was a John Glanton and a gang of scalp hunters under contract to the Mexican Governor of Chihuahua. The outsourcing of the struggle in Chihuahua against the Apaches climaxed in disaster. The historic threads, good and malicious, the mythology and fact. The outsourcing of the conflict in Chihuahua against the Apaches finished in disaster. Shades of todays Blackwater and personal mercenary groups in the Middle East and now more here in the US.
