"This book is Great!"
Even Thunderhoof gave it 2 antlers up!
The book starts as a boy is reaching manhood in a small river town in Mississippi just as the Civil War breaks out. He is forced to mature quickly as the war engulfs everything he knows; and he finds himself at the Battle Of Shiloh.
He is wounded and returned to the University of Mississippi which has been turned into a hospital. Jeff heads home to see his ailing Mother and is captured, tried as a spy and sentenced to hang. A miraculous escape, a journey to a new territory, the love he feels for two women, a stolen Yankee payroll and a bitter sweet ending are all woven into a great tale of sacrifice, prayer and a personal belief in God.
A heartwarming tale that would make a fine movie in the tradition of "Dances With wolves", "Jeremiah Johnson" or "The Outlaw Josey Wales"
Cost here is $22.00 USD with $1.00 donated to the OBS for every book ordered off this blog. As hunters, trappers and outdoorsmen, I think the information contained and the descriptions he gives for surviving in the wild are worth it, plus the story is fantastic. Thanks and hope you enjoy it too.
