1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the time
Although this book displays the civil war prejudice and hardships people of that time endured, this book is not worded and written in a way that you are just engrossed in reading the text. When I read a book, I have to be interested in it from the get-go. When reading this book, you'll have to be patient for it to become the least bit interesting.
