Reviews

[Sean Chick · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short collection of first hand experiences laid out not like a novel but more like a window into a brief period. You get a microcosm of all the war's memories and experiences here: Lost Cause, emancipationist, and reconciliationist. I think it would make for a great novel.

This is a book that needed to be written. Takes you inside a key city in the end days of the Confederacy. Well done.

[William Guerrant · Rating 5 out of 5]

The author has done a nice job of stitching together first-hand accounts and primary source documents to create this brief (144-page) narrative, which reads like a novella.
