Interesting Civil War insights. Entertaining format. Would be better without the steamy scenes. Not needed.

Incredibly will written story about the struggles between the north and the South leadiing up to the civil war. going to get book 2 for sure.

I loved reading this book back in the 80's. Audible lets me go back in time and enjoy again. I listen on the road traveling from place to place. The narrator gave a superb performance bringing the characters 'to life. Going on to the next in the series immediately.

Some books are wroth your time and some are not, this one is wroth your time. The story is well told and there is a history lesion in there for those who listen. John Jake was wright in his thanks to all the people who help make this happen: The quote was not his but the meaning is still the same We are still fighting this war and we will be fighting it until both side can say they where wrong. But these two family show that you san rise above anything that is put in front of you, The county could have learn a lot from them. So please listen to this book all of them it is wroth your money and time.

This Trilogy is a must read for anyone who enjoys American History and particularly the Civil War era. The characters are very well developed and interesting. Loved this series of books and wish it did not end at 3. Grover Gardner does an excellent job of narrating. Each character was brought to life by Grover.

Charles - True gentleman and warrior.

Grover Gardner did an outstanding job of bringing all the characters to life.

When one of the main characters dies in the second book. In the last book when another vital character dies.

this was a great story that I won't truly enjoy listening to again. I look forward to the next book in the series.

A deep emotional sense of the times wrapped around a compelling story and characters you cant help but care about. I could not wait to see what would happen next

Great way to gain knowledge of the period hopefully is close to issues of the day

This works narration and storyline literally make you feel you're in the book. Will read more of his

This is masterful story telling that captures the prevailing attitudes of the North and South leading up to the Civil War. If I didn't know any better, I'd think this was a Follett novel. Jake's style reminded me of Follett's century trilogy. A must read for anyone who found the antebellum period boring in history class, or anyone like me that loves Civil War novels.
