The Death of a Confederate Colonel: Civil War Stories and a Novella
“Intensely imagined, elegantly and efficiently told, the eight short stories and the powerful novella comprising Pat Carr’s The Death of a Confederate Colonel gracefully summon up for us our past. . . . Pat Carr is an admirably gifted writer, counted among our best and brightest; and this book is a memorable achievement.”—George Garrett, author of Death of the Fox and Empty Bed Blues“Pat Carr’s voice is distinctive, clear, and sharp. If her startling imagination reminds one of Ambrose Bierce’s, its range is much wider than his. The Death of a Confederate Colonel belongs high on the reading list of Civil War fiction.”—David Madden, founding director of the U.S. Civil War Center and author of Sharpshooter
