This review is from: The Heart of a Soldier: Intimate Wartime Letters from General George E. Pickett C.S.A. to His Wife (Paperback)

If you are a civil war buff like I am, this is a MUST HAVE book! Very interesting perspectives. I am very glad to find a book on this particular man of the civil war. I would also like to take this opportunity to make a suggestion to any of you interested in civil war artwork, etc. There is a new portrait artist by the name of Gary Nichols, who was introduced last year by Minnesota entertainer Natalia Melony. He seems to have done several civil war generals, one of which is Pickett. Two of his works, including his portrait of Pickett, won art awards in the Midwest. I saw his portraits of Pickett and Jeb Stuart, and they were so incredibly life-like, at first glance I thought they were old photographs of the men themselves. Too bad this book doesn't have Mr. Nichols portrait of Pickett on the cover. If you are a civil war buff, you can not go wrong - DEFINITELY purchase this book, for it will be a great "intimate" piece to add to your collection of works from this period in our history.
