Book Review: Mary Stolz Writes Great Historical Fiction
Summary: 5 Stars
Imagine if you had a brother,and you and he were fighting on different side of the Civil War! One of you is fighting for African Americans and one is not. Tom and Jack Rigby are in this situation in A Ballad Of The Civil War, by Mary Stolz. The story of the brothers begins on a Virginia plantation before the Civil War. Tom and Jack Rigby are raised on the plantation. Their friend, Aaron, who is a young slave, is four years older than they are. He has watched out for them growing up. On their ninth birthday, Tom becomes upset when Aaron is taken away from them and sent to work in the fields. The brothers separate when they grow up and become soldiers. Tom leaves home to join the Union Army. Jack stays in the South to join the Confederate Army. Will they ever fight face to face in the same battle? This is a good book for people who want to learn some of the reasons why we had the Civil War. The author gives lots of details to explain how the brothers grow up to believe in different things. This is an excellent book for young people who have an interest in history.
