The Civil War and a forbidden love test the allegiances of a Gettysburg pacifist in this classic by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Andersonville.
Long Remember was the first realistic novel about the Civil War. Originally published in 1934, it received rave reviews from the New York Times Book Review and was a main selection of the Literary Guild. It is an account of the Battle of Gettysburg, as viewed by a pacifist who comes to accept the nasty necessity of combat. Kantor has interwoven love and lust int this remarkable tale of passion, heroes, and bloody battle.
Praise for Long Remember
"So haunting. . . . Kantor's depiction of the confusion, noise, and terror of a battlefield can't be bettered. . . . A welcome reissue, offering further proof that Kantor was one of the preeminent historical novelists of the past century." —Kirkus Reviews
"The social life and customs of mid-19th century small town life are as well developed as his treatment of the historical figures and the battle itself. Bane's uncertainty and inner turmoil in the face of a world gone mad give the work a "feel" few others have. This is . . . the intensely personal struggle of young soldiers and terrified civilians caught up in events far beyond their comprehension." —Historical Novel Society
