Embrace an Autumnal Heart: An Accrual of Southern and Civil War Stories, Including Fatal Shadows : Little Round Top and the River of Death
by Jesse Earle Bowden
Category: History

Autumn leaves fall gently and metaphorically in these stories robustly resonating with timeless yearning. In lyrical, word picture prose, Jesse Earle Bowden distinctly enlivens indelible characters and their episodic seasons. In wondrous meditations, he remembers Pearl Harbor, "Going Jookin," The Goat Philosophy": "Fatal Shadows" for three Alabamians enduring Gettysburg and Chickamauga. In six fictional stories, Bowden recreates one of Florida's last public hangings, a deadly Choctawhatchee River gun battllle, memories of "The Gopherpuller"; mystery man with the Hidden Scar," and many more stories.
