I’m not a Civil War buff, but I do indulge in snippets of history. We learn war details during various history courses throuhout our education but I really liked this fictional historical acount from the perspective of a resident in of a small county in Florida.
Florida had some battles, but was mostly geographically removed from many major battles. (It escaped my memory Tallahassee was the only uncaptured capitol of the south.)
Historical facts about the war was ingeniously threaded as we learn about life in the mid to late 19th century.
Jim Seybert is a noteworthy narrator for this gem.
Enlightening and entertaining, it was easy to get swept through time to this difficult and pivotal era.
