The Black Flower A Novel of the Civil War
By Howard Bahr Fourth Printing
This powerful story of a rifleman's agony through the Battle of FRanklin in 1864 ranks with the foremost novels of the Civil War. It has recently won praise for it's originality and power in the brand new York Times Book Review, The LA Times, The Boston Globe, Southern Living and many other journals. The black flower symbolizes the rifleman's sense of doom in the misdst of Union cannons firing after John Bell Hood's Army of Tennessee. That army literally dissappears in a hail of rifle and cannon fire from the Union entrenchments. Bushrod Carter's senses record the Confederate charge and it's really deadly consequences with the clarity of Michael Shaara's Killer Angels and the poetry of Stephen Vincent Benet's epic "John Brown's Body"
