Fame's Eternal Camping Ground

About the Book

This is a book no library, school, college or university should be without. Although Fame's Eternal Camping Ground is a book of fiction, it has been meticulously researched for authenticity from well documented sources, including a number of diaries, highly respected journals and official government publications. Where conflicting historical accounts of the battle were encountered, the most plausible probability was used in this novel. This novel is one-stop-shopping for high school and college students doing research on the Civil War Battle of Brice's Crossroads or on Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest. Not all of the events portrayed in this novel are purely historical, a few from the author's imagination, are used in conjunction with the major fictional characters in order to lend credence to and to blend them into the true historical perspective.

Although a fictional tragedy, "Fame's Eternal Camping Ground" brings the horrors of this famous Civil War battle to a climax in a great blend of factual history, fictional romance, and simply good story telling.

From award winning writer, newspaper editor, retired soldier, Dr. Gene Ladnier, author of the "Rebel Chronicles Series.

Dr. Ladnier tells the story of the battle "as if he had been there. Even the sights, sounds, and smells of the battle creep from the pages as each character is caught up in this monumental struggle." Highly Recommended!" The Southern Sentinel. A book selection of "The Forrest Historical Society."
