Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A girl-woman blacksmith and farrier, Mary Louise "Lou" Fields, and Amos Solon Stevenson, a career soldier turned preacher, seek love and meaning in a troubled world. An intriguing blend of history, biography, and the plausible, this narrative is a sixty-year pilgrimage to the shrines of the spirit: the sites of struggle, loss, uncertainty, joy, love, and grace.

About the Author
A sixth-generation Tennessean, Doak M. Mansfield is a native of Fayetteville. He was an active Unitarian Universalist minister for twenty-five years, serving in Heritage UU Church in Cincinnati, Ohio (1975-85), in UU Church of Huntsville, Alabama (1985-2000), and as a U.S. Army reserve chaplain (1977-86). He now devotes most of his time to writing, occasional preaching, cat herding, and practicing iconoclastic ministry. The Mockingbird's Ballad is his first novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars historical fiction of General Joe Wheeler , June 5, 2005
By Steven E. Rowe (in rural south carolina) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There are two quotes on the back of the book from lead staff at the the General Joe Wheeler House and Museum; which suggests that this is indeed historical fiction related to General Joe Wheeler, and it is. Wheeler, while not a lead charachter, is a re-occuring subplot. A nice touch is the Universalist minister who shows up in the middle of the book - historicaly very accurate, just not much done in fiction. The war material also seemed right. So, historicaly it does seem accurate. The few famous walk-ins seemed right (nice to see Pingree and Rogers, but where's Clayton, Andrews, and Fuller?)
It was a fun read, I enjoyed it.
