Reviews

[M Jarman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent anthology of Civil War stories. Although set in the Civil War environment, few stories carry any historical narrative. Mostly just an enjoyable read, in poetry and prose, of 'ordinary' figures in an extraordinary time.
A wonderful cross section of authors and perspectives.
