O książce
The Red Mist is a civil war novel by Randall Parrish. Parrish was an American lawyer, journalist, and writer, in particular, author of dime novels, including Wolves of the Sea. He wrote popular potboilers and historical novels and was trained as a lawyer. He also spent many years as a newspaper journalist, with a stint as a railroad worker and sheep driver in between.
Excerpt:
"IT WAS already growing dusk when the Staunton Battery of Horse Artillery returned wearily to camp after hours of hard field drill, the men ever conscious that no evolution, however trivial, was being overlooked by «Stonewall» Jackson, sitting astride his sorrel on a little eminence to the left, his stern face unrelieved by even the semblance of a smile. He would criticise without mercy, but never praise, and the artillerymen insensibly stiffened to the work, as eager to do well as though they were in action."
