Worth every word

This novel should be read by more people. It was a great work of historical fiction that made my heart smile for the Africans working/fighting for freedom during the Civil War. Based on true events, this novel should make all Americans proud.

Excellent book

I couldn't put the book down and I ended up finishing the book within a week from receiving it from this website. I really got a taste of how it was back during the American Revolution between the North and South. Also, how the slaves were treated and how they escaped from the South to become cadets and fight for peace. I give Louise Meriwether much luck in her future books, if any, and I'll look out for them so I can read them as well.

Exceptional and intriguing story.

I found this story captivating. It is rare that any story intriques me like this, but I literally coundn't put it down. An excellent title for student reports
