If you are interested in learning more about the Civil War while enjoying a good novel, you should read this book. Gawain joins the war after finding out his girl friends father will not alow him to marry her unless he contributes to the war cause, thus he joins. We find him on his way home where he finds his love has waited for him but there are scores to settle before they marry. This is a good account of the south after the surrender and before the reconstruction. I enjoyed this book very much.
