Family Tradition,
By john bezou (Kaiserslautern, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Last Order of the Lost Cause (Hardcover)
My review will be somewhat biased due to the fact that Raphael Jacob Moses was my Great Grandfather. I thought that this book was excelletly researched and edited by Mr. Young. I found that as I read and got deeper in to my family history I could not put it down. For someone who is very interested in life during the Civil War either from a military perspective or from a deeply personal perspective this book will not dissapoint.
