and other for the love of josie mansfield. and so i wrote this book. it's really a book about jessie mansfield and the book is about josie and less about jim fisk. but because it's nominally a history book my publisher wanted to include a photograph of josie mansfield. after all it's a history book and there is a photograph of this femme fatale. let's see it but i didn't want to use the photograph. and i didn't want to use the photograph, because reason one is, if you look at the photograph of josie, it's pretty -- the camera does not capture that essence that drove men crazy. he will look at it and say, really? the other thing is that novels don't have photographs. novels don't have illustrations of the main characters. the whole point of writing is to create a word picture. so if i wrote a description of josie and then had a photograph of josie, either the writing would be, it would either be wrong or it would be redundant and either way it would lose its force, but i editor insisted, and so there is a picture of josie. anyh
