About this title

From the Back Cover:

"Her story is a legend of heroes, of those who fought well and lost their battle, and their lives. . . Miss Gordon's heart is fixed on the memory of those men who died in a single, superbly fought lost cause, in nothing diminished for being lost, and this devotion has focused her feelings and imagination to a point of fire."--Katherine Anne Porter (New Republic)

"Miss Gordon has done in this book what every novelist would do if he could, and what perhaps one in a hundred does. She has been real."--Mark Van Doren (Southern Review)
