paperback; 408 pages Set during the final year of the War Between the States, this is a classic tale of a damsel in distress. After her home is destroyed by marauding Negro soldiers in blue, Gabrielle, a beautiful young Louisiana woman, encounters Hugh Marvin, a dapper Kentucky gentleman who has refused to take sides with either North or South. What ensues is a charming romance reflective of the innocence and high moral standards of the nineteenth-century South. The author, noted for both his fiction and non-fiction work, was a native of Indiana but threw in his lot with the Confederacy, serving on the staff of General J.E.B. Stuart in the First Virginia Cavalry and later as a Sergeant with an artillery battery in South Carolina. Related Titles: A Girl's Life in Virginia Before the War
