Time for more quotes! One of the things that I "dreaded" the most about writing Choice was the battle scenes. I'm not so sure I'm doing a swell job with the rough draft, but it's coming. In fact... I think I like writing fighting scenes!
The following quote about the Hornet's Nest is true history. A regiment is supposed to be 1,000 men. From what I've researched, The 18th Missouri never really reached full strength. But after the Hornet's Nest, there were only about 300 men left in the regiment who were not killed or captured.
*spoiler alert* Yes, one of my characters that is close to Nat ends up captured by the confederates in this chapter! :)

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)
