SEVENTY-SEVEN YEARS IN DIXIE

“Seventy-seven Years in Dixie: The Boys in Gray of 61-65” by H.W. Reddick is a poetic, sweeping epic chronicling one young man's experience fighting the Yankees in the American Civil War. Following him through battles and time spent as a prisoner of war, we experience alongside him aching hunger, terror before battle and the humanizing moments that come when, stuck alongside brothers, young soldiers see what makes each of us human.

Complete with a series of poems celebrating the heroism of those who fought the war that split the States, we celebrate moments of triumph-- a taste of buttermilk after days of hunger, new shoes in winter and a night's sleep indoors. A testament to those who've fought for our freedoms, “Seventy-Seven Years” is as much an adventure as it is a reminder of our nation's powerful history.
