Chamberlain described Holden as well-spoken, intelligent, and physically quite large, as well as perhaps the most ruthless of the roving band of mercenaries led by Glanton, with whom Chamberlain briefly traveled after the war. "Yet nothing could be more gentle and kind than his deportment towards me; he would often seek conversation with me." [3]He was popularized as the main antagonist of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian (1985). Holden is heavily featured in Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian (1985). A fictionalized Holden is a central character in Cormac McCarthy's 1985 Western novel Blood Meridian. "The Dance of History in Cormac McCarthy's 'Blood Meridian.'"
