Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. Steinlage, Ben - Cover Photograph (illustrator). First Edition. 287 Pages. Bright interior text pages. This is a Novel about a side of the Civil War hardly heard about and is based on historical fact and family history passed down through the years. Unlike most novels this one isn't about President Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, a particular battle or General. What you get to know is about the life of the true hero's of the war. These hero's are the people that lived in the middle of it. They were also the ones that lost their way of life, their fathers, sons, possessions and their self-respect. The end of the war also brought the fight for rights of women and minorities. But it was the reconstruction period when the people of the south had to fight back for their place and dignity. This is a story of Ida Duncan's childhood friend and first husband Edgar Buchanan. This story begins three years before the war when Edgar is eleven. He becomes used to having people such as Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis attend functions at their place. Later he learns his parents played a big part in sending ex-slaves up north from their Virginia place to Canada. Then an unfortunate event happened after his father joined the Army. A Yankee soldier kills one of his best friends and he runs away from home to join the army as his father did. Though he contracts typhoid he survives and goes back to the area he grew up in and finds Ida waiting for him. It's at this point this brilliant story of the lives as they were lived throughout that era begins. It is an historical adventure and a romance all rolled into one. Seller Inventory # 15969
