CEASE FIRING by Mary Johnston 1912 - 1st Ed Illustrated N.C. Wyeth - Civil War

Description

CEASE FIRING by Mary Johnston ⭐️ 1912 First Edition ⭐️ Illustrated by N.C. Wyeth ⭐️
Cease Firing picks up where Mary Johnston’s previous book, The Long Roll leaves off. We rejoin Richard Cleave, the Confederate artillery officer, as he experiences the battles of Gettysburg, Chickamauga, the Wilderness, and Spotsylvania; and whose journey finally ends at Appomattox. Cleave can sense that the war is being lost; and he is torn between that knowledge and his sense of duty and honor. Through it all, Johnston s attention to historical detail never falters as we are realistically propelled into Cleave s fascinating world.
Mary Johnston was an American novelist and women's rights advocate from Virginia. She was one of America's best selling authors during her writing career and had three silent films adapted from her novels.
