And, at home, Henry, the youngest Brannon brother, his mother Abigail, and sister Cordelia, face problems of their own... not the least of which is Henry's growing feelings for his brother's wife, Polly.Another well-written, gripping volume in The Civil War Battle Series.

Awesome

This is the 7th book in a series of 10 by Mr. Reasoner. I have read all the ones that have been published so far. My only complaint is that they aren't published fast enough! Mr. Reasoner is a fantastic author. His wording makes you "see" where the characters are. I read this book in just a very short time, losing sleep because I just couldn't put it down. His historical facts are accurate in every book. Everyone that likes to read about the Civil War should read these books. They would even be good reading for someone not familiar with the battles because his story lines are so good. Please hurry and get #8 published - it's gonna be hard to wait.
