Gilbert Morris (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 7, 1997

David Rocklin enlists in the Confederate army to impress a young woman, but his aspirations crumble when he realizes he does not have the courage to be a soldier. Afraid for his life, David runs away from the army, only to face deteriorating health. When doctors are unable to diagnose his problem, he decides that it would be better to die quickly in battle than slowly of disease. He returns to battle and becomes a hero--surviving the assaults he hoped would kill him. Soon after, David finds his illness was the result of the guilt he felt for deserting. Will he have the courage to continue as a hero, or will he shrink from battle again?

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting and Educational, August 23, 2001

This review is from: Chariots in the Smoke (The Appomattox Saga, Book 9) (Paperback)

Chariots in the Smoke was an enchanting and educational book. It helps readers learn about the Chatanooga and Chickamauga battles but also keeps readers excited and anxious because of the romantic twists. I loved this book and think that Gilbert Morris has a superior way of capturing romance and telling it to the best degree. This book is perfect for all ages above 12.

I love reading most of Gilbert Morris' books, but this set disappointed me in that it ended with book 10. I felt there was plenty of storyline for more books. This was one of his better ones.

THis is the best entry to the Appomatox saga. If only Gilbert would write more books faster.
