Description

Waiting for the Morning Train. Autobiography. by Bruce Catton, Civil War historian. Original copyright 1972. This paperback 1987. 259 pages. 5 1/4 by 8 1/4 inches. "There is real fresh air in this wonderful book which captures an American past that is gone forever but deserves the dignity of being mourned without false emotion. Bruce Catton, that renowned, crusty Civil War scholar, writes luminously of his boyhood. He has managed to look back with crisp, winter-morning clarity and to stirringly recreate some of the simple truths and granite facts of a hard life in a hard land." - quote off the back cover by Newsweek. Three of his many Civil War books are A Stillness at Appomattox / This Hallowed Ground / Mr. Lincoln's Army. Thank you.
