Excellent! A must read for anyone interested in the War of Northern Aggression!

On Chapter 21 Kindle version.

Love to read real letters to learn what people were thinking, what they were thinking about and how they were feeling. Very insightful! Authors did an excellent job with their research. Very well-written.

It took a while to get through but I became enthralled and could not put down, especially towards the end. Although I knew how it ended, it was still sad and I sympathized for the family. Likewise, I sympathized with the Southerners as they bowed to the Union arrogance after the surrender. Overall, Ms. Croons did a fabulous job transcribing these journals and what a treasure they are to have in print.

A little difficult to read, perhaps because it is written on a day-to-day basis but the content is very interesting and being from Macon, GA myself, I can personally identify with some of the homes and other buildings that LeRoy writes about. I am beginning to feel that I personally know LeRoy and his family and look forward to reading more soon.

Am reading three other books so I'm not progressing as fast as I would if I were only reading this one. So, far, I've learned quite a bit and have enjoyed what I've read. Strategies discussed are very applicable in a therapeutic setting and I am sure will be helpful to clients in need.

Haven't been reading long but have already shed some tears as the descriptions have been so realistic and vivid. I hate to put it down but I have to work! : (

Very captivating story. Had to make myself stop reading!!
