By Valour and Arms. Dial, 1944. 538 pages
The Civil War battles for Vicksburg form the backdrop for this novel. Even though the North controlled most of the Mississippi River throughtout the Civil War, it wasn't until July 4, 1863 that Vicksburg fell. While following the exploits of a confederate naval gunner through his service on the truly amazing CSS ARKANSAS in the summer of 1862 and his efforts to find iron to build a new ARKANSAS during the following year, Street manages to include a lot of history and seemingly authentic and fascinating insights into the politics and social customs of the times. He presents a fairly thorough picture of the laws and attitudes about slavery and the relations between black and white, northern and southern sympathizers, high society and low, without letting it get in the way of a good story with lots of action.
