When The Drums Stop
“The flag bearers!” Sergeant Loyod pointed down the line as three Confederate battle flags made it to the top of the berm, waving erratically back and forth. “Shoot’em down! Don’t let them rally!”
For two years, the terrible and bloody Civil War raged in the United States of America, tearing at the very fabric of its glorious founding. In the midst of utter turmoil a young boy, Anderson Roach, longed to join his brother as part of the famed Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry.
With his brother gone fighting for nearly two years, Anderson was now ready to leave the farm and prove himself by joining the ranks of men on the battlefield. Little did Anderson know that his dreams of adventure and heroism would soon be met with the harsh reality of soldiering in the Union Army.
With each step, he would walk hand in hand with death and experience the physical and mental anguish of war.

The War through the eyes of those who were there.
Words can't describe how incredibly emotional and amazing this novel was to read. The elements of gain and loss from the narrator were so profound, and made me weep quite a bit. Even if you never thought about reading a novel about the Civil War, I highly, HIGHLY recommend this book. It is a true work of art!💙

A Good Civil War Story
An interesting book from start to finish that really needed a proofreader. There were a large number of errors which did not, in my opinion, detract from the overall enjoyment I found in this story. Historians and Civil War buffs will enjoy it!

Seriously needs an editor and better research. Can't recommend it.

A little unbelievable
I am unable to give it a higher rating as felt it left me as neither really enjoying the story or not.

Quite boring. Each chapter deals with a different battle but is just a rehash of the previous with main character relishing killing. Poor editing as full of spelling, grammar errors; their for there, site for sight, barron for barren, distracts from flow. Gave up on it.
