Publisher's Synopsis

The Rock of Chickamauga is a historical novel written by Charles King and published in 1907. The story is set during the American Civil War and follows the experiences of a Union officer named Philip Kent. Kent is a young and ambitious officer who rises through the ranks to become a major general. The novel is centered around the Battle of Chickamauga, which took place in September 1863 in Georgia. The battle was one of the bloodiest of the Civil War and resulted in a Confederate victory. King's novel provides a detailed account of the battle, including the strategies and tactics used by both sides.In addition to the battle scenes, The Rock of Chickamauga also explores the personal lives of the characters, including their relationships with family and loved ones. Kent, for example, is torn between his duty to his country and his love for a Southern woman named Alice. Overall, The Rock of Chickamauga is a gripping and well-researched historical novel that offers readers a vivid glimpse into the Civil War era. King's attention to detail and his ability to bring the characters to life make this book a must-read for anyone interested in American history or military fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
