About This Item
New York: Grand Central Publishing, 2009. First Edition. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Hicks, a historical fiction writer, chose the post-Civil War life of Confederate Gen. John B. Hood as the focus of his second novel.

He returned to civilian life in Louisiana where he met his wife, Anna Marie and became the father of 11 children. This fictionalized account featuring journals kept by Hood and his wife, are a tragic account of disability, poverty and death as Hood, his wife and one of his children all die within days of each other in a yllow fever epidemic, one of the usually unmentioned realities of the post war South. The love shared by Hood and his wife is this book's saving grace. First Printing, First Edition.
