The ten stories in this fine collection were chosen for their merits as literature by excellent writers, their collective portrayal of every major Civil War battle, and for their depiction of "the Confederate soldier at all levels of command." An ideal Father's Day gift.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
YA-- These 11 stories cover a broad range of topics concerning all manner of Confederate soldiers, and also give a picture of the society from which these men came. In ``Jack Still'' Jefferson Davis, hearing of the Yankees fleeing Bull Run, makes a decision that shakes the faith of the Confederate officer bearing the news; while in ``Chickamauga'' two childhood friends walk 20 miles to enlist in a war from which only one would return. ``Bloodhounds'' tells of the punishment of a Confederate army deserter, while ``Debt of Honor'' recounts the reprieve of a sentry caught sleeping. This collection should appeal to students of literature as well as historians and Civil War buffs, for among the writers included are F. Scott Fitzgerald, Thomas Wolfe, J. P. Marquand, and Owen Wister. Brief biographies of the authors are a useful addition.

Well crafted short stories of the Civil War,
By A Customer
This review is from: Confederate Battle Stories (Civil War Series) (Paperback)
The Confederate fighting man is the subject of these 11
very touching short stories written by the likes of F.Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe. You don't have to be a
Civil War fanatic or a Southerner to appreciate this book.
You only have to love a well crafted story
