Miss Ravenel's Conversion from Secession to Loyalty Second edition
John William De Forest
"Miss Ravenel's Conversion" is important in American literary history as the first novel to depict the Civil War with realism. Its battlefield scenes owe much to John W. De Forest's own experience as a captain in that conflict. But in 1867 genteel readers were affronted by De Forest's frank view of war and sex. This title introduces the novel.
