ABANDONED. Historical fiction. Civil War Corinth Mississippi. I think African American author.

[Terri]

Read this book in approximately 2000. Heard it reviewed on NPR. I believe the author was African American, and at least one of the characters was an African American Civil War soldier. I would label the book historical fiction. It had a great line in it... something about "fields of glory". Thanks for your help.

Perhaps this: The Glory Field by Walter Dean Myers

[Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large)]

Wild guess: The Year of Jubilo: A Novel of the Civil War?

Maybe look at some Listopias? You can comment on the bottom with the question, and maybe some CW buff will answer.

Terri, are you still looking for this? Was it anything mentioned above?

[Terri]

No, these suggestions were not the book I'm looking for. I am still hoping to find this book. I have done web searches but have not tried the listopia suggestion.

Where I'm Bound, maybe?

I did a couple of place name searches, no luck.
But 'civil war' as a tag pulls up several lists, so if you think you might recognize the cover, be sure to look at Listopia.

Terri, are you still looking for this or did you find it?

No response in 2 years. Moving to Abandoned.

What’s with putting “Abandoned” in all caps before the description?
