Beechenbrook: A Rhyme Of The War is a historical fiction novel by Margaret J. Preston. Set during the American Civil War, the story follows the lives of two families, the Beechens and the Brookses, who live on opposite sides of the conflict. The Beechens are from Virginia and support the Confederacy, while the Brookses are from Pennsylvania and support the Union.The novel is written in rhyme, with each chapter consisting of a poem that tells a different part of the story. Through the poems, readers witness the struggles and hardships faced by both families as they navigate the war and its aftermath. The Beechen family experiences loss and devastation as their plantation is destroyed and their loved ones are killed or injured in battle. The Brookses, meanwhile, face their own challenges as they try to maintain their farm and protect their family from Confederate raids.Despite their differences, the two families find common ground in their love for their homes and their desire for peace. The novel explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the human cost of war. Overall, Beechenbrook: A Rhyme Of The War is a unique and poignant portrayal of the Civil War era, told through the power of poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
