No writer is better than Charles King at bringing the reader vividly and realistically into the life of a U. S. Army soldier during the late-19th-early-20th century. Because of his personal experience as an officer in the conflicts of that period, he not only gets the historical details correct, but also the settings, moods, and day-to-day life, including the divisiveness of the Civil War and the personal, romantic, financial, and family life of the soldiers living on those far-flung military posts along the western frontier, who fought the Indian Wars.
Norman Holt: A Story of the Army of the Cumberland tells the story of a young Kentucky man divided from neighbors and family, as so many men were who lived in the border states, by loyalties to opposite sides. He is vilified and slandered by almost everybody, his loyalty by his chosen allies in the North questioned, his choice of sides demeaned by his family and acquaintances fighting for the South.
