The colors began floating down, spreading over him like a striped canopy. He was reaching out to catch the flag when he was knocked backward. Still clawing for the tumbling silk as he fell, he saw a red mist envelope his left hand. He tried to raise his right arm, but it refused to move.~
Blackness sifted down around him. He saw nothing but could still hear the cannon and musketry as clearly as ever. Indians. He could also hear Indians whooping. -- Rock Hills, South Carolina Herald, 3/10/96
Kirk Mitchell uses the story of that dismal battle to fashion a fine historical novel, one that adds to the ever-growing shelf of Civil War literature.
Fredericksburg will no doubt be compared to Michael Shaara's classic, The Killer Angels, and while this book may not quite reach that level, it is still very high quality goods. And where Shaara told the story of Gettysburg through eyes and thoughts of the commanders, Mitchell takes his readers into the minds of a special class of ordinary soldiers and junior officers. There is an elegiac note to this book. Perfectly appropriate to the people and the events it so vividly describes. -- American Way, Feb. 15, 1996, Amer. Airlines In-flight Magazine
The Battle of Fredericksburg, Va., in 1862 was the Union's most costly and humiliating defeat of the Civil War. -- Publisher's Weekly, Jan. 22, 1996
