So moving and so heroic

As I thought would be the case if you have gotten this far in the series you will care about the different members of the Brannon family and how the war is effecting them, but what I wasn't prepared for was the incredible word painting by James Reasoner of the Battle of Gettysburg - it was some of the most vivid I've heard or read. It was brilliantly portrayed and excellently narrated by Lloyd James. I was moved to tears as I heard the valiant Pickett's Charge and its aftermath.

While this series is glorifying the south's efforts in the civil war, in this book the futility of war was very apparent and given personal meaning to the Brannon's family and the listener. I can't wait to start the next book

Confederate propaganda

Confederate propaganda. Almost made it seem like they were the good guys. I did not like this book.

The pain of war was felt

To read about this as seen through the soldiers eyes, the mother’s eyes , the family & friends left me feeling their pain. It happened though & we should remember those who have fought in all the wars with respect & gratitude.

Historically Correct

I like this series because they are indeed historically correct but I do wish there was more detail in the history part and less in the personal character part.
