Publisher's Synopsis
In this work of historical fiction, the first of a proposed Civil War novella trilogy, the author uses an actual incident during Pickett's Charge on 3 July 1863 to construct a compelling story about a dog's loyalty to the soldiers of that day and its impact on them for years to come. In Boots, a son's soul is transformed as he learns of his dying father's combat experiences at Gettysburg in the 111th New York Volunteers and of the legacy of a dog called Boots. For those who are intrigued by the American Civil War and the three days of brutal combat at Gettysburg, for those who love dogs and their faithfulness, and for those who enjoy good historical fiction, Boots: A Novella of the Civil War is a work to read with great interest filled with deep and abiding emotions.
