Title: A very personal story
Review: This well-written novel reads, in many ways, like the diary of an actual participant in the war rather than a fictional character, following a young man from north Georgia who left his boyhood farm to join the Confederate army not because he wanted to be a soldier but because it was the right thing to do. The book begins just after the war while he is en route to Texas to make a new life for himself. He wants to put the war and all of its horrors--witnessed as an enlisted man and then as an officer at many well-known battles--behind him.When he finds others who want to hear what it was like, he finally agrees to tell them. The result is a novel that reads like nonfiction, putting the reader right into the heart and soul of a soldier down in the thick of things. I hope that the author's plans for additional books are eventually realized and will bring us the pre-war and a post-war part of Henry Shockley's honorable and compelling story.
