This is a very short story about Brigadier General Jebediah Simpson Ellsworth
and the battle that was a defining moment in his life.
Although originally written as a stand-alone short story, “Father Would Be So Proud” eventually became, with some minor alterations, the Prologue for the novel Sins Of The Father.
It a poignant vignette, showing Jeb’s character and motivations very clearly and a great inducement to read the book. This little story is the perfect example of a free read that leaves the reader aching to read the full book. It’s also a textbook demonstration of how to write a complete and impelling story in a very few words.
This is an objective review and not an endorsement of this book.
