'(The True Story of Manse Jolly, Part I) is honest and powerful and never less than utterly convincing. A really first-rate historical novel...dense with the details of life, teeming with living people - more real than history, as good fiction tends to be.'--Author Jack Matthews, Ohio University 'Those who are interested in Civil War history, and they are legion, will find this book a fascinating and easy read.'--Tony Kiss, Asheville, N.C., Citizen-Times
