Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Path of the King
HE three of us in that winter camp in the Selkirks were talking the slow aimless talk of wearied men.
The Soldier, who had seen many campaigns, was riding his hobby of the Civil War and descanting on Lee's tactics in the last Wilderness struggle. I said something about the stark romance of it - Of Jeb Stuart ?itting like a wraith through the forests; of Sheridan's attack at Chattanooga, when the charging troops on the ridge were silhouetted against a harvest moon; of Leonidas Polk, last Of the warrior Bis-hops, baptizing his fellow generals by the light of a mess candle. Romance, I said, attended the sombre grey and blue levies as faithfully as she ever rode with knight-errant or crusader.
The Scholar, who was cutting a raw-hide thong, raised his wise eyes.
