Opis

More than a tale about a Civil War battle, Pittsburg Landing is the story of a man, Zebulon John Stewart. It is a chronicle of what happened to him at Pittsburg Landing (Shiloh) and how it impacted the rest of his life. An account of the romantic glory of war gone sour, it is a thoughtful narrative about that which young men call adventure and old men call foolishness. You could even say it is a tale about Mankind. Zeb and his brother, Luther, fought in the Civil War on opposing sides at the Battle of Shiloh (Pittsburg Landing). Now, forty years later, Zeb is on a pilgrimage to find Luther who never returned from the war. Plagued by a recurring sense of horror and guilt from his fateful encounter with Luther at The Hornet's Nest, Zeb sets out to find his brother and eventually meets him in the strangest of circumstances. Accompanied by his ten-year old grandson, Zeb's journey begins with a trip to Washington D.C. but slowly progresses to the inner recesses of his soul, resulting in an unshakable bond between the boy and his granddaddy.
