Query: CRANE'S CIVIL WAR CLASSIC

Before my debut mystery novel came into current release, I taught high school American Literature for fifteen years. Stephen Crane's RED BADGE OF COURAGE was a standard part of my course's curriculum every year. It is a classic, and it deserves to be one. It tells the tale of The Youth who goes off to war imagining war to be a glorious encounter with nobility on all sides. As he endures his first battle, he learns otherwise. There has never been a better book written about the American Civil War, or was that war called (as my mother, an Alabama girl, referred to it) The War of Northern Aggression.
