The Critics Say…

"...a believable and fascinating tale with well-developed characters"

- New York Journal of Books


"a fascinating look at the waning lives of those who fought during the Civil War, and the progress of equality"

- Midwest Book Review

"In this beguiling, important novel, Carl Eeman reinvents a world of 1912-14 in which our tortured struggle with Civil War memory and race relations might have had different outcomes... Every serious student and reader of history has wondered “what if?” In Eeman’s haunting characters and dialogues, and in his textured storytelling, Americans can see the genuine tragedy in our story of Civil War remembrance."

— David W. Blight, Yale University, author of Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory

Congratulations!
