I thought the overall story was good...a soldier trying to get back home at the end of the Civil War, but how it was done needed some work. For example, the Confederate soldier left the army going home to Texas by way of Ohio? That's a little north for a Confederate to be headed at the closing days of the Civil War. Also, if I read it correctly, while getting close to the Mississippi River, he runs into the regiment he left in the eastern theatre- that was one hell of a 1000 mile march that regiment did. Those things seemed to stick out to me and probably should have been looked at, because part of writing historical fiction is getting not just a good story, but one that could have actually happened, so readers looking at all the details won't put it down once they hit something that does not quite make sense. Overall, it was a good story and a pretty quick read.
