About this book

A sweeping novel of the American Civil War, following soldiers and civilians of the Confederacy (centered on the legendary general Stonewall Jackson) through the marches, battles, and hardships of the conflict. Mary Johnston, a best-selling historical novelist, brings meticulous research and vivid drama to her portrait of the war in Virginia, capturing both its grandeur and its terrible cost. Rich in detail and human feeling, The Long Roll offers an immersive account of the Civil War from a Southern perspective of its era. A substantial work of historical fiction, it combines romance, battlefield realism, and a memorable evocation of one of history's most storied commanders.
