miss ravenels conversion from secession to loyalty
- Author: john william de forest
- Genre: Mystery
This book is considered to be one of the best novels about Civil War ever written. It tells the story of Lillie Ravenel who with her father are deported from Louisiana at the beginning of the Civil War. Lillie is a passionate Confederate, but her father's loyalist sympathies make them to escape to New England. In the fictional city called New Boston they meet two men who fall in love with Lillie. These men fight for Lillie at the same time as fighting for the Union. It is through these relationships and through her experiences on returning to occupied Louisiana that Lillie's consecutive conversion occurs. "Miss Ravenels Conversion From Secession to Loyalty" is half romance story and half war story. The battle scenes (which, by the way, are quite few in number) are well described, furthermore they are based on De Forest's experiences during the war. Everyone who is interested in the Civil War will find reading this book extremely delightful and enjoyable.
