From the Author:

"To honor the imagination, then, I have chosen to honor the facts. The soldiers' names are, whenever possible, the names of real confederates (and colored troops) present the day I write about. It snowed when I say it did and was a full moon on the night of the full moon. In general, I have gone a little beyond that place where history accompanied me."--Donald McCaig
