| Abraham
Small, an older ex-slave, lives near the town of Gettysburg during the
Civil War. When a major battle threatens the area, Abraham volunteers to
use his mule, Charity, as an ambulance driver. By chance he meets Lamar
Cooper, a Confederate soldier, before the battle. They find they have much
in common, as two Southern reared men; later, they have much in common
due to simple humanity. Read this book for a different, interesting view
of this famous Civil War battle. (Jean Bellavance bellavance@erols.com
