[Sue Phillips roberts · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoy Gilbert Morris and his stories set during the Civil War. This is the last book in a series. Good reading.

[Darlene Wilson · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's such a peaceful February in the Rockies, no one realizes that hundreds are still dying as the Civil War rages on. Nothing could convince Charlene Peace, half Crow Indian, to leave her mountain home -- until handsome Boone Manwaring delivered his earth-shattering news. Charlene and Boone travel South toward Richmond, site of the heaviest fighting, and begin to understand the politics of war. As danger grows for Northerners in the South, they must decide if it's worth the risk to stay and fulfill their mission

I was disappointed that this was the end of the series. I felt the series was misnamed -- the "Appomattox Saga" does not end at "Appomattox"

Another in the Rocklin family series. In this book a distant relative moves to Colorado, marries an Crow woman and they have a daughter who is very manish. The father wants his daughter to move to the south and be a lady. There are the usual bits of romance and pairing off as the Civil War rages. The author does a good job of describing the battles and the times. The plots are a little pat, but enjoyable. I have come to not like the picture painted by the author of the lack of input from the slaves who seem so a part of the family. While I realize that many slaves were devoted to the families they served, slavery and its ills is not really addressed much until this book, and then pretty much glossed over.

I read the whole series as an audio read and thoroughly enjoyed it. Maynard Villers was an excellent reader. There is a strong Christian, faith-based, influence throughout, which I found both moving and helpful in understanding the Civil War era.
