The story is character driven and told from the perspective of various protagonists.
Reviews
On Mar 26 2017, a reader said:
Brilliant depiction of various characters, from the historically pre-eminent (Lee, Chamberlain) to the minor (Spy) to the fictional participants at Gettysburg. Provides a psychological profile of those who made this hallowed ground.
