Highly Recommended Civil War Story, April 14 2011
By Maureen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Crossing (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book, what a gift Gilbert Morris has, and I for one am glad he shares it.I learned a lot about the Confederate side of the War, which I hadn't known. I have always lived in the North, but this book was making me root for the South.
I loved that included in this story was facts about the Indians...Cherokee, Amish, Virginia Military Institute, and the Civil War. There are also a few love stories intermingled with the Military.
There are things that happen that will make you chuckle and others that you will need tissues for. I loved the descriptions of the beautiful America...mostly in Virginia where this novel takes place.
I can't wait for the next two books in this Civil War Saga.

A number of Key Ingredients, May 2 2011
By Dion - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Coming from South Africa I've known little about the American Civil War and my understanding has certainly been enlightened through this novel. 'The Crossing' contained a number of key ingredients that I enjoy in a book. It was one of those novels that you could barely put down and I genuinely looked forward to every read. Gilbert Morris wove interesting, historical, adventerous, entertaining, romantic, honour and christianlike together brilliantly. I look forward to the next book in the series!
