Attention historical fiction fans--here?s another fine entry by award-winning Johnny D. Boggs that you?ll want to add to your collection. My ancestors fought on both sides of the Civil War, a fact my deeply Southern relatives never bragged about when I was a kid, Johnny D. Boggs writes of his new historical Western. Maybe that?s why I started out with the idea of writing a novel told from Northern and Southern viewpoints about the Battle of Shiloh, which, of course, is no stranger to novelists. Yet when a research trip brought me to Corinth, Mississippi, I decided to include the Second Corinth battle in this narrative, as well. Shiloh is Shiloh, with countless historians analyzing it, while Corinth is often overlooked. Corinth also was a direct contrast to Shiloh Shiloh was fought in fields and woods, while Corinth took place in a town.
