Other editions of book Cease firing

"Mary Johnston's THE LONG ROLL and CEASE FIRING are quite possibly the best Civil War novels ever written..." Cease Firing picks up where Mary Johnston s previous book, The Long Roll leaves off. We rejoin Richard Cleave, the Confederate artillery officer, as he experiences the battles of Gettysburg, Chickamauga, the Wilderness, and Spotsylvania; and whose journey finally ends at Appomattox. Cleave can sense that the war is being lost; and he is torn between that knowledge and his sense of duty and honor. Through it all, Johnston s attention to historical detail never falters as we are realistically propelled into Cleave s fascinating world. Prominently featured also is Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston, from whom Mary Johnston is descended.

En rights hit oughter be two miles, but I's got er kind ob notion dat de ribber's done crope nigher." Edward listened to the wind and rain. "What's to hinder it from coming nigher yet?" "Nothin', sah." The young man got up, somewhat unsteadily, from the pallet, and with his hand against the wall moved to the door, opened it, and looked out. He shivered, then laughed. "Noah must have seen something like it when he looked out of the Ark!" He closed the door with difficulty. Behind him, the negro continued to speak. "Leastways, dar's only de Cape Jessamine levee." "Cape Jessamine?" "De Gaillard place, sah." With a stick he drew lines in the ashes. "Bayou heah. Ribber heah. De Cun'l in between -- only right now he way from home fightin' de Yankees -- he en' Marse Louis. De Gaillard place -- Cape Jessamine. Hope dat levee won't break!" Edward came back to the fire. "Do you belong to the place?" "No, sah, I'se free. Ol' marster freed me. But I goes dar mos' every day en' takes advice en' draws my rations. No, sah, I don' 'zactly belong, butdey're my white folks. De Gaillards 's de finest kind dar is. Dar ain't no finer." Old man and young man, dark-skinned and light, African and Aryan, the two rested by the fire.

Over against him half reclined the other, very torn and muddy, unshaven, gaunt, and hollow-eyed, yet, indescribably, carrying his rags as though they...

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
