Vicksburg

Civil War Battle Series Book 5

By: James Reasoner

Narrated by: Lloyd James

Vicksburg is the fifth book in a series of novels spanning the Civil War and describing its effects on one southern family.

In the waning months of 1862, as the Union army advances closer and closer, Cory Brannon must abandon the supply train to undertake a vital mission for Confederate General John Pemberton, the commander in charge of Vicksburg's defenses.

The Federal bombardment, illness, injury, and starvation all take their toll on the defenders of Vicksburg, forcing Cory and Lucille to face decisions that threaten not only their love but also their lives.

An amazing story with a not-good last 2 chapters

Reasoner again delivers an amazing plot, but the end (which is the conclusion of the story between Lucille and Palmer Kincaid) is quite... unecessary, to say the least. The whole book would be better without that sub-plot between the two.

Getting better and better!

I‘m thoroughly captured by the ongoing drama and adventure surrounding the Brannon family. Can‘t stop reading/listening!

Take Cover!

Yet again the winds of war find us a the centre of the action with the battle for Vicksburg and one of the Brannons are of course in the thick of it. These novels are becoming a interesting contrast of how the home life was affected by the war and the battles themselves. I'm enjoying it all immensely and with my other "listenings" (as opposed to readings!) I believe it to be fairly historically accurate.

Lloyd James appears to have a never ending selection of southern accents with each new character given a distinctive voice and as there are a cast of thousands this is no mean feat! He is doing a sterling job of narrating.

Excellent

well written and read suspenseful and historicly accurate. interesting to view from a Confederate viewpoint

Greatest love story of the South.

Amazing love story of the southern land of the time and age. A tale to be told.
