Hey Barb,

Really good chapter with Bradly falling, to the enemy robbing him as he lay dying, and then the touching way Bradly smoothed out the letter.

And really, once one has had labor pains, one can soooo identify with another in such a state!

I'm hooked!

Cheers &
Keep Smilin'... Jax

    Thank you, I think I was born with good skin. One of the lucky ones. You can thank my Welsh mother and my half Native American and German father.

Hi Barbara,

Your descriptions are awesome as you made me feel as if I was right there seeing everything. It is so sad when their unable to return home especially when he was a new father and poor Alice. I feel for them. I saw no spag and the smooth flow left me with clear understanding. Thank you for sharing.

Oh man you starting with the heart strings already. Goodness woman I just barely recovered from Anna and Troy. Now you give me Bradley (I swear I hear a twang in me head just now) and Alice. What a way to give birth, and how deep was the love they shared that he could be with her in spirit. You are gonna traumatize me again. I just know it.

Hi Barbara:)
Avery dramatic end to a soldier's life, but though the miracle of prayer, he was there for his son's birth. I ave just a few specific comments:

1. A yank would have to be fools to face us riled up Southern boys. {For better flow, I suggest: Yanks would have to be fools to face us riled up Southern boys.}

2. Exhaustion and the soft sound of his buddy playing a harmonica brought on sleep. {I still have a harmonica that my great grandmother played during the Civil War. It is one of te few things tat she gave me. She was fourteen when the war started. she lived near Lamar, Missouri on the fringe of the Ozarks and told me a few stories about the war.]

3. [Hell --> Hell's] bells, my sick ol' granny could whip them without working up a sweat. {I think this may be a typo}

Great start1 Love and more Irish Hugs,

Roger

This is a very intense piece, especially when Bradley dies and goes to Alice. Very well written. "A three men scout team", I believe, should read "A three man..." Other than that it flowed. My favorite character by far is Beatrice. Was there another person in the room with her and Alice? At one point Beatrice says, "Miz Alice is seeing things." as if she was talking to a 3rd person. Was she?

I would hate to compete against this great first chapter for book chapter of the month. As always I love your use of action verbs like fingered and how you understood the kind of writing that would create the mood with words for the time period and battle. You can't teach some writer instincts in class 101 or 201. I'm glad I got in on the first one. This particular book is appealing to me. Stan

Great story! Lots of exciting action, fabulous dialogue and the southern slang rings true. The characters are more than believable, they leap off the page! The private thoughts are represented well with italics and the descriptive phrasing is clear, concise writing at its best- (slapping mosquitoes, etc.)An overall winner in my books! Why the heck do we only get six stars!!! More please...! of this excellent tale AND the stars! Bravo!!!
