Knoxville 1863

I’ve been fortunate in already having received two good reviews of my new historical Civil War battle novel.

Claude Cooper, a retired Army colonel and a former professor of military science at Appalachian State University, had this to say about the novel at Amazon: “Other writers and historians have touched on this battle, but I’m not aware of any who have addressed it in this depth. For that reason, and because it is well written, I believe that this is an important novel that will be appreciated by civil war buffs and enjoyed by anyone.”

Jim Miller, whose Civil War Notebook is a popular site with war buffs, concluded: “Mr. Stanley has certainly done his homework; his novel rests on a solid foundation of historical facts. It is well written & a joy to read.”
