Who were the Remingtons? Philo's Soul is a Roman a clef taken from historic documents, photographs and writings that creates an accurate picture of how a society, a country, indeed, a faith recovers after a brutal Civil War. As we all now know the Civil War was conceived by idealists wanting to end the horrors of slavery with little or no planning for the devastation effects and how it would change many generations of Americans. 600,000 men died in total during the Civil War which, when was a first thought to have a short duration with few casualties. It lasted over 4 years and 600,000 Americans died from both sides, still the largest number of deaths and casualties of Americans in war. Those good men, sacrificing all for their beliefs, young men with promising and educated futures, were gone at a time when women had little way to provide for themselves and their children absent a man's position and labor. That was a shocking reality for the formerly idealistic Americans and they had to heal a nation, restore their souls and go on if the American Democratic Republic was to survive. The book is not only a good novel of the lives of those struggling not only with how to repair their own lives and the lives of their village but how to repair a nation. In modern times of civil war raging in the world, with questions of how to repair and go on unhopeful instill free democratic republics for their citizens, America may serve once against, as the role model for millions in the world seeking freedom.
