I have been a civil war buff for 20 years, starting with “Killer Angels” at a woman’s bookclub. Somehow, I missed your Rebel series until this summer, when my husband pulled the series off his bookshelf and presented it to me. How did I miss this? “Oh my God, just lay me down!”–it was some of the best Civil War writing I have ever enjoyed. Knowing a lot about this period in our history, I was impressed with how you brought the battles, the sentiments, and the soldiers to life, and were true to the characters of all the generals. The current political climate here in America is grim, and anyone connected with the South during that time is vilified and condemned, but the trouble with canceling imperfect people is that, eventually, you cancel everyone! The Truth prevails eventually…Well done,
