The Last Three Soldiers


Read by David Wales

(4.6 stars; 35 reviews)

What if the Confederacy had won the American Civil War? It’s July 1864 and three oh-so-young Union troopers are assigned to a mountaintop in Tennessee to be a link in a chain of flag signalers across a ridge of mountains. They encounter a dizzying gorge with a rickety bridge, bears, aching heartache, freezing cold, avalanche, bats, skeletons, deserted cabins, puzzling mysteries, starvation, and more. (David Wales)

a fascinating tale.

I found this one of the most enjoyable civil war based books I ever listened to. The characters were so well described in the plot so complex that you were drawn into every word and every action. had a wonderful beginning middle and end. I'm sure you'll find it very enjoyable as I did.
