Excerpt from The Clash of Steel
The historical novelist is indeed fortunate if in his searching through the musty pages of history he can find a character which conforms in every detail to the one his eye of imagination conceives. But as a general thing this is not the case and so one to fill this requisite must be furnished from the workings of his own mind; while the fundamental facts remain the same true and unchanged.
An historical novel is not the place to study details; but to fasten dates and events firmly in the mind, it is by far better than the dry pages of history. So as a word of warning to my readers, I desire to say that no faith should be placed in the characters of my main heroes, as they are merely brought into action to fill a space, from the novelists point of view.
But the facts are the same.
