Review:
A unique and spellbinding look at four years of Civil War as seen through the eyes of two Tennessee mountain boys who Join the Army of the Confederacy at age sixteen. Witness firsthand, the horrors of First Manassas, Shiloh, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Lookout Mountain, Petersburg, and finally the crushing surrender at Appomattox Courthouse.
Once you start reading this tremendous and fast moving novel, you won't he able to lay it down. Southern Thunder is a "Must Read" for all Civil War fans.
The cannons fired at Fort Sumpter wrest Franklin Robert Morgan from the arms of his newfound love and comforts of his Tennessee mountain home. Morgan and his lifelong friend, Owen Horton, join a well-supplied, high-spirited Confederate Army--an army that eventually deteriorates into ragtag divisions of soldiers whose retreat traces the bloody footprints of their barefoot comrades.
Along the way they learn that the enemy isn't always clad in blue. The deadly foe includes disease, starvation, mosquitoes, snakes, rats, and the freezing wind sweeping up Fredericksburg's Marye's Heights. All that Morgan and Horton have left after the war are the rags on their backs and their unfulfilled dreams of glory. The horrors of Southern Thunder will echo long after you put down Ron Morgan's gripping novel.
