I truly enjoyed reading this book, narrated in the voice of an uneducated but insightful and soulful soldier. So many contradictions .... a beautiful gentle love story between two men who have few choices in life and must kill hundreds of times........ the ruthless murder of indigenous tribes, yet the daring rescue of one adopted native daughter, a gay marriage against the backdrop of Civil War destruction, and mostly, deep reflections about life by a simple plain-speaking soldier ! A brutal detailed look at American history and yet a tender story ! Really quite a brilliant book !
