| Reviews: GALVESTON | |
"Pat Nagle's Galveston wonderfully recreates the exciting atmosphere of the Island City during the Civil War, bringing to life the mostly real characters in the drama with historical accuracy, yet telling the story in an engaging way that is sure to captivate any reader. It will appeal to serious students of history as well as the casual reader looking for a good story. Some of the best fiction written about Texas history."
--Edward T. Cotham, Jr., author of Battle on the Bay: The Civil War Struggle for Galveston
"Galveston is a tender, evocative and powerful rendering of a great Civil War battle, and the families, lovers and men at arms caught in it. It is a compelling novel, richly wrought, with the special grace of authenticity. I was swiftly caught up in it. Ms. Nagle writes a memorable story that will linger long in the heart of any reader."
--Richard S. Wheeler
From Publishers Weekly, September 2, 2002
"Nagle's textured depiction of battlefields and society balls--and . . . keen understanding of the psychology of both of these proving grounds--should once again please."
