The Journals of Lt. Kendal Everly

The Journals of Lt. Kendall Everly: A Story of the American Civil War is the second book in S. Thomas Summers' Civil War series. A school teacher and a pacifist, Kendall Everly pits himself against the war, saddened by the fleeting innocence of his students and the purity he feels that innocence personifies. Everly embraces the Union effort and enlists, a noble effort to protect the youth he knows will soon understand the terrible realities of blood and steel. Yet, the war and its horrors envelope him, transform him into a man he no longer knows or recognizes.
