The Rock of Chickamauga is a historical novel written by Joseph A. Altsheler. The book is set during the American Civil War and follows the story of Harry Kenton, a young Confederate soldier. The novel takes its name from the Battle of Chickamauga, one of the deadliest battles of the war, fought between the Union and Confederate armies in Georgia in 1863.The story begins with Harry Kenton, a young man from Kentucky, joining the Confederate army. He quickly rises through the ranks, becoming a lieutenant and leading his men into battle. Along the way, he meets and falls in love with a young woman named Helen Harley, who is also from Kentucky.As the war rages on, Harry and his men are sent to fight in the Battle of Chickamauga. The battle is a brutal and bloody affair, and Harry finds himself facing impossible odds as he fights to defend his country and protect the woman he loves.Throughout the book, Altsheler vividly portrays the horrors of war and the toll it takes on those who fight it. He also explores themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice, as Harry and his comrades struggle to survive and make sense of the senseless violence around them.Overall, The Rock of Chickamauga is a gripping and powerful novel that offers a vivid and compelling portrayal of the American Civil War. It is a must-read for anyone interested in this pivotal moment in American history.Like all boys of the great valley, Dick always felt the romance and spell of the Mississippi. It was to him and them one of the greatest facts in the natural world, the grave of De Soto, the stream on which their fathers and forefathers had explored and traded and fought since their beginnings. Now it was fulfilling its titanic role again, and the Union fleets upon its bosom were splitting the Confederacy asunder.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
