No Common War

No Common War is a fictionalized history of Moreau Salisbury, the author's great grandfather, and Moreau's participation in the abolition movement and the Civil War. Though fiction, the names of key persons and places are real.

Moreau has clashed with his father on the sin of killing, but when war comes, Moreau and his cousin join the 24th New York Volunteers–but not before Moreau falls in love with a woman he must leave behind.

The summer of 1862 hosts a succession of battles, Groveton, Second Bull Run, South Mountain, and then Antietam. The 24th is in the third wave on the bloodiest day in American history.

Battles are not only fought with swords and cannon. The survivors have lost friends, limbs, and innocence. War comes home with the warrior.

No Common War tells the story of battles, but also the story of Moreau's return, and the aftermath of the unthinkable.

Niciun razboi comun nu este o istorie fictivizata a lui Moreau Salisbury, strabunicul autorului si a participarii lui Moreau la miscarea de abolire si la razboiul civil. Desi fictiune, numele persoanelor si locurilor cheie sunt reale. Moreau s-a ciocnit cu tatal sau de pacatul uciderii, dar cand vine razboiul, Moreau si varul sau se alatura celor 24 de voluntari din New York - dar nu inainte ca Moreau sa se indragosteasca de o femeia pe care trebuie sa o lase in urma. Vara anului 1862 gazduieste o succesiune de batalii, Groveton, Second Bull Run, South Mountain si apoi Antietam.
