Point of the Rear Guard (Paperback)

War is not a story nor is it anything to admire. Admirable instead are the men who live on in spite of it and carry the memories of their brethren in heart and soul; people and places, both of which can and have become legendary. History is a much better tale; memories as old as the earth. The person in this story came from a place where the slow, quiet voices of nature tell that story to any who might hear it. It is full of the memories of real people in a tumultuous and difficult period of history, which like so much of American lore was based in a war. An apolitical story of a time that was anything other than apolitical. One that follows a common soldier instead of an officer through his youth, his wartime, his love and his losses
