Marek Bennett's comics adaptation of this actual Civil War memoir brings to life the dry humor and grim conviction of teacher-turned-soldier Freeman Colby. Fiercely proud of his Granite State heritage, Freeman Colby bows to no one - not the rowdy students of his rural one-room schoolhouse, not the high-handed Union army officers in town, and certainly not those Rebel traitors causing all that trouble down South. But Colby needs work, and his ne'er-do-well little brother Newton needs looking after, so the boys enlist with a new regiment promising three years' pay and plenty of adventure in a growing war...

Excerpt from The Soul of a Cat, and Other StoriesBut in the first case, too, it would seem to be a relevant point to ask which dog and which cat and to those who profess not to like the character of the cat one might put first the counter-question as to whether they like the character of the human being.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

From the dust jacket front flap: Kate's mother was a 'gorgio' - gypsy slang for respectable people who live in houses and stay in one place. But her father's mother - old Mrs. Cooper - was a gypsy. Kate valued her Romany ancestry and her travelling relations; they made her feel different. Kate's mother had been caretaker to the Old Man, who owned the estate where they lived. But his heir, though kindly enough, seemed uninterested in the place, and certainly didn't share Kate's conviction that his grounds were the property, by right of tradition, of what he considered to be his disreputable relations. Among these Charlie, a simple-minded gypsy boy whom Kate regarded as a younger brother, was particularly vulnerable to misunderstanding by well-meaning but interfering adults. In establishing Charlie's right to be himself Kate discovered how to reconcile her cherished Romany blood with her mother's belief in 'respectability.'
