In the Midst of Life (Classic Reprint): Tales of Soldiers and Civilians

Excerpt from In the Midst of Life: Tales of Soldiers and CiviliansThe father lifted his leonine head, looked at the son a moment in silence, and replied: Go, Carter, and, whatever may occur, do what you conceive to be your duty. Virginia, to which you are a traitor, must get on with out you. Should we both live to the end of the war, we will speak further of the matter. Your mother, as the physician has informed you, is in a most critical condition; at the best she cannot be with us longer than a few weeks, but that time is precious. It would be better not to disturb her.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
