Summary: The Last To Die
Comment: I felt I was reading a history book instead of a novel. The epilogue summarizes the causes of the war the carpetbaggers and scallywags will not admit.

Summary: the last to die by graham k strickland- a review
Comment: After reading The Battle of Bentonville and the biography of Gen. Robt. Hoke, this historical novel puts a gripping personal and realistic touch on this period. It makes it easy to tdentify with the trials and hardships endured by the people of eastern North Carolina during the civil war. The book is a wonderful supplement to the historical accounts.

Summary: Reader Comments
Comment: "Great book!I haven't had time to read it until now, but once I started I couldn't lay it down. The chapter on Battery Wagner was very good and at times I could almost smell the smoke." J.O., Dunn, N.C.

"You have mastered the art of keeping us history enthusiasts thirsty for details of every moment of the Civil War and entertained with a good story as well." B.A., Trinity, N.C.

"I really enjoyed your book and hated for it to end." S.C.,Tampa, Florida

"Your book was absorbing and I gained an entirely new slant on Civil War history. As I recall, the cotton tax was never mentioned in history books I read. To look at the conflict from that perspective makes more sense." A.N., Greenville, N.C.

"I normally do not read novels and I guess I am a stickler for hard core history. I began reading your book yesterday and couldn't put it down. The pages give life to both the soldiers and the loved ones left behind. You have done a great job of presenting the history of the 51st North Carolina Regimant while giving it life through the conversation of its characters. Your book will have a special place on my shelf. T.B., Columbia, S.C.

"This book is a treasure for the Civil War buff.... We hear the soldiers speak, as they must have spoken, on topics that range from concern for the crop harvest to their philosophical opinions as to the causes of the war." G.F., Shohola, Pa.

"You have captured everything I have ever read of wondered about the war in 329 pages." G.R., Sanford, N.C.

"So many times I have read novels thet were so far off historically that I could not enjoy them and I have read factually correct books that read too much like a battle report and bored me. In your book, there is a perfect combination of strong history and just enough fiction to make you come away feeling like you know the characters like old friends. I haven't enjoyed a book like this in a long time." L.S., Smithfield, N.C.
