The Light from Heaven

Indian Creek, Utah 1868 the gravestone of John Skoog army deserter from the ranks of General William Tecumseh Sherman and murderer - who skulkingly like a deaf fox participated in the sacking and destruction of the city of Columbia South Carolina and afterwards fled west into the bosom of Chaos to sew there like apple seeds more foul and contaminating deeds and contribute to the bloodshed of Nation Building and the construction on his own human scale of the transcontinental railroad a most holy and noble endeavor that would one day land Astronauts on the moon and lead to the nuclear annihilation of Hiroshima.
