Nice to see it win! David Jones has written another great work of <A HREF="http://www.davidhjones.net/" REL="nofollow"> Civil War historical fiction,</A> "Two Brothers," which, as you might conclude, is about a family divided by this most divisive war. Really well researched -- and it's nice to see that Jones didn't resort to "character development." His characters were real people who really lived the story as told -- so much better than the bending of fact to suit the author's idea of what the story should be. Readers can appreciate the true character and accomplishments of the historical persons portrayed in this Civil War novel. It's great.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553309379795237911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-86774190974609033562009-02-05T15:30:00.000-06:002009-02-05T15:30:00.000-06:00Hi Caitlin!
