Craig ColemanWhat an excellent book depicting the life of NC’s General Gatlin; amid the harshness of life in that age. Through all the names; travels; and personal loses; Gatlin's tough character developed showing what a remarkable man he was even for his time. Though he was reserved to survive; I got a deep empathy for his personal struggles and quiet victories. This is a great read for Civil War buffs and for those wanting to see real life in the nineteenth century!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
