The author, born in 1928, explains that his grandfather, born in 1840, fought at Chickamauga (the late fatherhood of both his grandfather and father allowed such a span of time between generations). Bowers's evocation of the famous battles is fired with his personal connection to the Civil War and to his childhood memories of life in the South in a culture of horses rather than cars a culture not too far removed from that of his Civil War ancestors.
