by Mel Young (Author)
5.0 out of 5 stars 4 ratings
This fascinating book takes readers back into history and leads them through the lives of the Moses family, one of the most remarkable families of the Civil War era. The editor has compiled and expanded upon various written and photographical documentation which describes the lives of the Moses'. He focuses specifically on Raphael Jacob Moses and the Jewish heritage of the whole family. Readers will relive the experiences of Raphael Moses as a successful businessman and a staunch fighter for the South during the War. Providing details of life events against a historical background, Young brings to life the strength of the bonds of both the Jewish tradition and the endurance of the Old South.

In addition, anyone at all interested in the Civil War or the American Jewish tradition will be enriched and enlightened by this perceptive and personalized account. The father, an officer on the staff of General Longstreet; the sixteen year old son, a Confederate Naval Officer; the middle son, a hero killed at the Battle of Fair Oaks; and the eldest son, a private in the ranks.

    Raphael Jacob Moses is my grandfather five generations ago,, so of course I am transfixed by all this information. I have given this book to all my family, and am grateful to the author for all his work.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Family Tradition
    Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2002
    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.
