The Star of Gettysburg: A Story of Southern High Tide - 9781466238565

In "The Star of Gettysburg," Joseph Altsheler tells the story of Harry Kenton and Dick Mason, two cousins from Kentucky who are pulled into the American Civil War. Harry sides with the South, and Dick sides with the North. Altsheler wrote eight books in this series and four books follow Harry and four books follow Dick. He is very careful to present both sides fairly and it is impossible to tell which where his sympathies really lay as to whether he favored the Southern or the Union cause. Altscheler knows his Civil War history and paints a very vivid picture of the battles and leaders of the war. Both Harry and Dick rub shoulders with real historical figures (Jackson, Lee, Grant, Sheridan) and readers will not only be entertained but also informed about what happened in the Civil War. Highly recommended!
