Becca is a vapid protagonist "Let the slaves remain slaves forever so long as her two beaux were safe at home and able to renew their friendly rivalry for her hand.

Ages up. Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc. Her two beaus are going off to fight for the Union, and at least she will not have to decide between them until they return. Her head tells her to choose steady, dependable Alex, but her heart belongs to unpredictable, irrepressible Charlie. She is spared the difficulty, as only one returns home to her.

Living in Jonesville, Michigan, Becca remains far removed from the war. Although issues such as Southern secession, freedom for the slaves, the African American Colonization Society, and the draft are motivating factors for her two young men, they have little influence on her life. Contrasting battlefield scenes accurately depict the war's reality for Alex and Charlie.

Their letters to Becca recount the trials of army life and their thoughts about battle, dying, and the Southerners they are fighting. This tender story of friendship and love is one that will endure. Basing his book on family letters and journals, the author has constructed an intimate portrayal of three young people caught up in an event beyond their control.

The characters are strong and true, the conclusion stirring and poignant. The book's merits come not only from its fine literary qualities, but also from its portrayal of the time. It has all the elements of a contemporary classic. Brief content visible, double tap to read full content. Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
