A Novel of the American Civil War

David Preston was an officer in the U. S. Armybefore Virginia seceded from the Union. Then, with most of his fellow Virginians, he offered himself in the service of the Confederacy . . .

Assigned to Col. T. J. Jacksons 1st brigade, at Harpers Ferry, he quickly began applying the expertise in military medicine he had gained as an observer with Garibaldis forces in Italy.

Hed met Abe Lincoln once, in Washington. Now he was to encounter the likes of J. E. B. Stuart, the dashing cavalry commander, Robert E. Lee, Jubal Early, and especially Stonewall Jacksonthat puzzling blend of professor, Bible scholar, and dazzling military genius.

David was to follow Jackson through all his campaignsright up to the last one, at Chancellorsville, where a stray bullet ended the great generals life. And David was then to see the Confederate cause gallantly go down to defeat as Grants armies closed their iron circle around Richmond.

But always in the back of Davids mind was Araminta, the Cherokee woman he would marry if he survived the war. She was caught up in the political intrigues over the fate of the Cherokee nation after the war, and her Southern sympathies led her to take chances which endangered her safety, and perhaps her life . . .

Human tragedies interweave and blend with the broad sweep of military maneuvers, in this large-scale historical novel about the men who fought with Stonewall Jackson during the Great War of Secession.
