Though little more than a boy, Private Josh Simmons is no green
recruit of the Confederate Army. Now seventeen years old, he
participated in the Battle of Gettysburg last year. Like most of
his fellow soldiers, he doesn't truly understand the underpinnings
of the battle, but he has faith in his commanders, especially
General Robert E. Lee. Simmons fights on the premise the blue
bellies are down here threatening his home and his family. He also
knows death waits for him up some road, trail, field, or grade.
Now, a century and a half after the most momentous struggle in
American history, Soldiers and Ghosts tells the story of the
American Civil War from ground level through the eyes of Simmons, a
Confederate infantryman. It narrates the experiences of young
adolescents during one of the most dramatic and chaotic moments of
that Wilderness Campaign of 1864.
The first book in a trilogy, Soldiers and Ghosts tells a tale of
valor amid the horror of unceasing battle and struggle as the Ghost
Army gained recruits at feverish pitch during the darkest days of
the Civil War.
