Reseña del libro "Son of a Civil War Surgeon: My Grandfather's Untold Story (en Inglés)"

Son of a Civil War Surgeon is the dramatic story of George Joyce Simmons (1856-1919), the author's grandfather, who died twenty years before her birth. She creates a voice for George through a journal he might have kept. George's father, a prominent Alabama surgeon, captured by Yankee troops, is in prison in Florida. In 1863, George's life falls apart. George writes of his family's struggles during the War Between the States, describing in detail their passage from Alabama to Texas in 1870. Settling near Fort Worth in the frontier town of Weatherford, George struggles with his father's expectations for him. George envies his incredibly rich sister, Mrs.Winfield Scott, who owns the historic Wharton-Scott mansion in Fort Worth, called Thistle Hill. A fateful trip to the Crazy Waters in Mineral Wells leads George to marry a smart, but strange woman. Family secrets, scandals and superstitions swirl against the backdrop a looming inheritance dilemma. This fast-paced historically documented reconstruction of one man's life is written with compassion and humor by the granddaughter he never knew.
