Action At Aquilla Civil War Paperback Book by Hervey Allen Pocket Books 1946
Action at Aquila gives the reader the feeling of having lived through those memorable times of conflict.
Hervey Allen has not depended on historical research, books, and documents for back- ground.
"Almost every incident in it," he says, "was taken from word-of-mouth reminiscences by Civil War veterans, both Union and Confederate, and from people who lived in the towns, cities, and the country in the area covered by the story.
In so far as possible I have used the stories, in some cases the very expressions, of the men and women who were alive in 1864."
The story moves along the Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia borders as a pageant of battle, love, threatening tragedy and stark triumph in an absorbing succession of ever-shifting scenes that prevents the skipping of a page.
This is romance with an idea, war with a theme, and adventure with a purpose.
