Steven Best did a fantastic job of making you feel you are there with the Best brothers (ancestors for me) as they go through the hard times of the civil war, fighting for what they know is right as taught them by their christian parents. He has done a remarkable job in researching and bringing to life the characters and vivid scenes of the civil war. I had a hard time putting the book down until I had it finished. It's a great book told about great men in an era not to be forgotten. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the civil war.
