Books like The Slopes of War

Excellent historical fiction! I’ve been to the Gettysburg battlefield and visited the town; the author did a wonderful job of making me “see” all those places again. I would recommend this book to Y.A readers and older. The three days of the battle are described very realistically and graphically; several scenes made me wince and think, “Oh, my!” I think this would be an excellent teaching tool for teachers of older students.Memorable Quotes:(Pg. 118)- “Not hell, then, after all. Worse than that, Buck guessed-a field hospital, probably a barn.”(Pg. 199)-“Buck knew by the look of disappointment that the tall man realized that what he had just said had not been grasped or understood or believed. He wished he could reassure him in some way that the little speech, so large with meaning, had not been a failure.”
