Thanks, Virginia! I often wonder what all of the great leaders of the past would think. They sacrificed so much - and would likely not recognize what we have today as the United States.

Thank you for once again honoring this great gentleman. I wonder what he would think of the "United States" today?

What a beautiful and poignant story! Amazing!

Folks, I hope that you will all read "From the Heart: Love Letters and Stories from the Civil War". Your heart will not be left untouched.

"Noble Cause: A Novel of Love & War" is also a must read--bound for your keeper shelf. Superb, unforgettable historical romance!

How sweet and how sad. I'd love to win a copy of your e-book. Besides genealogy, Civil War is also my passion. A review would be posted on my American Civil War blog. Thanks for the chance. hydi828@gmail.com

Would love to win a copy. I really like reading about the civil war both fiction and nonfiction. By the way I truly enjoyed reading your book Shades of Gray.

I hadnt realised the reason behind her lack of other work. I cant help wondering though if those images she saw were so burned on her memory that GWTW was her seminal work.

How fascinating. I didn't know she died so young or so tragically.

Thanks for sharing more about her.

Wishing you the best,

I'm sorry to hear about your computer crash. That is so annoying. I hope you can recover what you lost.

Is it awful for me to admit I can't watch Gone with the Wind? I don't know why. I cannnot sit through 5 minutes of that movie. I feel so silly, because I love Civil War fiction and nonfiction.

Wishing you the best on your tour.

2011-12-13T09:31:29.450-08:00

When I was a kid (and before cable TV), Gone With The Wind was shown for 3 or 4 nights. Not a word was spoken among us until the commercials! LOL

Years later, I sat down and read it. It was wonderful.

As for the cause, I didn't fully understand it until I took a college class about it. That cause gave me an entire new outlook of the Civil War.

Thanks,

Although the "Cause" has been much maligned and misinterpreted in the interest of Political Correctness, our forefathers fought for a Cause and reasons they believed would affect them, their children, and their children's children. And sure enough it has......I honor my Confederate ancestors, and all those who chose either the route of Rhett Butler, Ashley Wilkes, Charles Hamilton, Melanie, Scarlett or the rest..... There were many paths to follow in fighting for one's Country, whether CSA or USA.

The Cavaliers & Cottonfield and Just a Dream Remembered quotes are among my favorites. We must not forgot those times, my four great grandfathers and several great uncle fought for the cause, and always remember, it is the cause, and not the outcome of the cause, that is glorious.
