This is a sort of prequel to the author's series--along with his dad's books--about the Civil War. This is about the soldiers that served in the Mexican War. The main characters are Winfred Scott and Robert E Lee but several others mentioned as well that became more famous during the Civil War. A good read, interesting how the author is able to put this together--these are fiction books but based of what facts he can find. Obviously conversations are all fiction but troop movements and battles are probably close to what happened in a macro sense. This author also has books about the Western battles in the Civil War--I think with focus on what Grant was doing before Lincoln named him the overall general for the Union.
There are copies on the PBS system and since I really like this series I am keeping this and the others I have, at least for now.
