This review is from: The Crisis - Complete (Kindle Edition)
A friend tumbled onto this book thinking it was a very early effort by THE Winston S. Churchill.He was well into it, wondering about its very different than "Winnie's" style, when he did a bid of research and found the author to be a different Churchill, an American. This is very much a period piece, and describes times and attitudes of the very early Civil War. Racial attitudes were different, and there's been no expurgation of words you'll hear in rap music, but not polite use. The book is based on fact. My wife, who grew up in St Louis, in the German American community descended from people in the book, a community with St Louis roots in her family back to 1840. She was fascinated. The place descriptions are accurate. And it turns out one of the "heroes" in the novelization was an ancestor. Certainly worth a try, especially at the price (free!) |
