However, I read this book a few years ago, and while I've forgotten much of the details, I remember really enjoying it.<br /><br />I thought the prologue was very informative, but I agree that it was a bit dry. I am enjoying the historical excerpts at the beginning of each chapter even though they don't really mesh with what happens in the chapter.<br /><br />I don't think I'd do what Adair does either, march right up to the Union Militia and demand my father back. That seemed impulsive, even if it did take her awhile to get there and you'd think she had time to sort things out a little more on the journey.<br /><br />Glad you're taking part in the readalong!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136628.post-70562754071053080242011-08-08T10:10:44.128-05:002011-08-08T10:10:44.128-05:00Kris, thanks for joining the read-a-long.

I do find it interesting that Missouri was a swing state and so torn apart by the two sides...its fascinating from that viewpoint. If you find the time, post your link in the comments at War Through the Generations...otherwise, I've posted it on the Facebook page for the blog.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745809545249574387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136628.post-76652860373401293892011-08-07T21:46:07.734-05:002011-08-07T21:46:07.734-05:00My feelings about the book are right in line with ...My feelings about the book are right in line with yours. It's interesting, but the writing is choppy or something. I do find that either it's getting better or my mind is getting used to it as I go along.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408471966661831444noreply@blogger.com
