abuseI read this story long ago and even saved it to my computer, and re-read it today. I don't remember if I ever gave you a review, so I'm going to do it now:

Awesome is simply too weak of a word to describe this story. Brilliant is closer! It's obvious you did extensive research into the Civil War and that shines so clearly and adds so much depth to the story! You have a wonderful handle on the Cartwrights and bring them to life with so much depth and emotion, it's like they are here in the room with me--or rather, I'm with them! I could hear the crackle of the flames and echoes of the screams and almost feel the heat and Adam's fear as I read the story. You have done a superb job with this, and if there was a oscar for fanfiction, you'd most certainly deserve it! There are too many parts of this that I dearly loved to list them all, so I'll just say in short that I am applauding you and thanking you so much for sharing this marvelous piece with the world!

BRAVO!

abuseOne of the best stories I've ever read anywhere in any genre. Well done and researched and well written.

It could have been a book or script. It is perfect.

abuseAbsolutely loved the story but it would have been an easier read if it had been broken up into chapters, it was kind of daunting to see how far I had to scroll. Other than that one complaint I thought your story was AWESOME! : )

abuseGolly, I LOVE this story! It's the best one I've seen so far. The Civil War is my favorite subject too. I love how your story flowed from one scene to the next. Everything was a surprise, that it kept me reading til the end. Very satisfing ending too, ties it up neatly. You should write pro!

abuseOne of the finest stories I ever had the luck to read. Wonderfully written, it made me cry and shiver along with the characters and again wonder how some people are able to endure so much sadness and despair. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

abuseI really liked this story. I'm very much a fan
of Adam, so anything focusing on him is going to appeal to me. In this case the circumstances
and the emotions they evoke are particularly
powerful. I also saw and appreciated your
follow-up to this fic, 'The Song'. I hope
you'll keep tunin' them out!

abuseI love this story. I love this era too, I have at least 10 Civil War novels waiting to be finished! LOL. This battle isn't heard about much, and that's a shame. Thank you for such a wonderful story.

abuseI love this story and think that's its 'put together' well. The scene where Adam comes home is wonderful and the whole fire scenerio works too. A great read!
