Reviews
On Dec 21 2011, DHoeh said:
This is a classic Civil War book from the 1940's. There is a great perspective from that era because it was closer to the events of the "War". Not long ago my Grandmother passed away at 90. She was from the South and it did not take long for people to realize that when she talked about family history and "The War" she always meant the Civil War. Yes she saw the results of WW1 and lived through WW2, Korea, and Vietnam, but "The War" was the Civil War (War Between the States, AKA the War of Northern Aggression). Confederate Calvary will always bring feelings of respect and awe. I find it very useful to read books from this era as we as a country was fighting for freedom for the world. I recommend the book.
