A Civil War Soldier deserts after the battle of Peterborough, when the Union blew up explosives in a tunnel. The story covers the harrowing events leading up to his return to his village.
This story was a good historical story, but I found it boring, dull, and depressing. It took me a whole month just to read it! I just had a hard time keeping my interest going on this story. I have the movie of this story and I have seen it, but didn't pay that much attention to it. I thought I would read the story to feel me in on confused parts of the movie, but it was too hard to keep focus on this type of wording in this book. Just not my style of wording and had trouble trying to understand it. The wording was all hick slang.
What I did get out of the story was that Ada had Inman's baby out of wedlock, a girl. I asume that Inman had died in that battle with the young boy on Cold Mountain before Ada found Inman. Ada and Inman didn't get married because he died, which I found disturbing. I think he should have survived.
You know I think the movie left that child out completely, but I am going to see that movie again and pay attention.
