Adult civil war Historical Fiction Based on true events.
This collection of novels Focuses on the civil war and some maritime Aspects of it. The writing is very good and the stories are interesting but this part of American history is not my favorite.
I got this e-book from amazon with kindle unlimited.

Almost a history lesson.
Such a great series in a book. I love how it progressed. As always, there’s twist and turns that you don’t see coming.

excellent story telling
quick moving and an unpredictable conclusion
The historical twist was also fun to read. The war in Mississippi is not as familiar as the war in the East.
