4.0 out of 5 stars
Detailed Civil War Account with a Personal Perspective,
By
This review is from: They Rode with Forrest and Wheeler: A Chronicle of Five Tennessee Brothers' Service in the Confederate Western Cavalry (Paperback)
I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend, as Thomas Burr Fisher was his great-grandfather. That being said, I am a bit partial regarding the subject matter. I will say, however, that the account provides a very personal, detailed view into the lives (pre & post war) of the Fisher family; a family that was mirrored by many others in the South during this time period. I appreciated the overall picture the author painted - from the major events such as battles to the mundane - describing the first car T. B. Fisher purchased, for example. The story provides insight into a family that was very close-knit but quite modern in their thinking and ideas regarding progression. This is a gem for all Civil War buffs and for those interested in true Southern culture both before and after the War.
