Reviews

[The Celtic Rebel (Richard) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book took me awhile to read but I enjoyed every minute of it. I have loved history -- pretty much any type of history -- and was given this book as a gift. I am familiar with the area of the Bankhead National Forest and the Warrior Mountains and driven through the area many times. I am not familiar with many of the family names listed in the book. Due to that parts of the book got a little dry and harder to get through for me. I definitely have a better understanding of the area.

One thing that was very clear to me was it was very evident that the book was written by a man who knew the history of the area and its people. His knowledge and love of the area was all over the pages of this book.
