Returning home from the Civil War only to find out that his family had been captured and put on a slave train, Bodie Johnson embarks on a dangerous journey to find them and will let nothing stand in his way. Original.
Bodie Johnson is determined to find his family after the Civil War. While Johnson is looking for his family they have their own battles to overcome to survive in a harsh and hostile environment. I really enjoyed this book, I felt it was well written with strong characters and it did a good job of describing the harsh realities of the time.
Interesting story about former slaves trying to survive immediately after the end of the American Civil War. There are a few truly evil characters but the majority of characters are believable complex. I didn’t know much about the Reconstruction Era before reading this novel. Seeing this period through the eyes of black (northern free and southern former slaves), Native American, Mexican, white (Union and plantation owners), and mixed race people was very instructive in learning why integrating the south back into the Union and securing civil rights for blacks failed during this period. I wish someone made this into a miniseries as the characters and their stories are compelling as well as educational.
