Great start to this work. A nice amount of background and the letter adds to the setting.
I usually arrive in the middle of your books, but I am going to follow this one from the start.

A very enjoyable read. You have caught the cadences of Civil War soldiers very well. Chickamauga was a very important battle. I look forward to more chapters. Ray.

Please remember this novel isn't about the Civil War, but is actually set in the 21st century. I needed this post and the next post as background to set up the novel. Thank you for the kind review and your support.
Comment from Gideon Roth
Good Afternoon, Barbara. Wow, it looks like you are off to a great start on a new story that really looks to be a winner. I am very happy to get in at the very beginning of this exciting new story. This was a wonderful start filled with great descriptive narrative, well written dialogue and a bit of humor that always makes for a memorable read. I am already getting the feeling this may be one of your best manuscripts yet. I am going to try and post chapter three of my latest effort today but wanted to get caught up on the notices in my inbox first. I was sure happy to see this one among them. Have a great day of writing...Tim

JUST EXCELLENT. YOUR RESEARCH WAS SUPERB AND THE LETTERS WRITTEN BY THE SOLDIER TO HIS WIFE WERE FIRST RATE. I AM A SEMI-RETIRED CIVIL WAR BUFF AND THE WAY YOU DESCRIBED THEIR CLOTHING, LACK OF FOOD AND SHOES WAS ACCURATE.
TAKE CARE,
RAY

THANK YOU FOR THE KIND REVIEW. THIS NOVEL IS NOT ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR, BUT I NEEDED TO GET THE BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE FOR THOSE FANS WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR AND WHY SOMETHINGS HAPPEN THE WAY THEY DO IN THE SOUTH EVEN TODAY.
Comment from sunnilicious
A new romantic ficition story. Happy dance to a nice start. Good background information. The story has excellent dialogue. I don't like Bradley away from Alice. The letter is a nice chapeter. You'll have to focus on their relationship some more. There is so much going on in this first chapter. Excellent work.

Got a chuckle here: "Our stomachs not growling would be nice. I hope those bluecoats are deaf or they'll hear us coming." ;p
Liked this line: Some ol' conductor tried to get us to pay for our train ride. We aimed our Enfields at him and said, "We paid our fare at Gettysburg." :)
A bit of variety this time. Well done!

Comment from Cumbrianlass
Nice 'out of the gate' on this one, Barbara. You captured the weariness of the soldiers, yet managed to inject their determination to fight and win.
Good dialogue. I loved the letters especially.
Just a couple of wee things:
After we left Guinea Station, how many times did we switch trains? - You could actually lose the first half of this sentence. I think he'd only ask "How many times did we switch trains?"
make-shift coffee, - makeshift
Look forward to reading more.
