Description


THE BUCKTAILS' LAST CALL is the seventh novel in the Bucktails Civil War series. The book describes the last year of Sergeant Bucky Culp's enlistment that was his hardest yet. After deserting the Union Army long enough to marry his darling, Sarah, he barely misses being shot by a firing squad. Embroiled in the Battles of the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, and Bethesda Church keep him in harm's way until the day he's mustered out of service. But the greatest test of Bucky's character awaits him at Sarah's place in Sharpsburg, Maryland. LAST CALL ends with Sergeant Culp's greatest display of bravery as he handles this personal crisis with the fine fighting spirit instilled in him by the First Pennsylvania Rifles.
