Description
“If We Hadn’t Been Soldiers…” by Robert L. Baker Jr. is a persuasive book against the setting of the American Civil War, enlightening the deep struggles and resiliency of those looking for freedom. The story follows Simon, a keen family man, who begins a hazardous journey to escape the Danton Plantation in search of a happier life for his wife, Olivia, and their young son, William.
Baker skillfully connects historical accurateness with rich, demonstrative storytelling, exploring elements of sacrifice, love, and the stiff journey for liberty. With bright character development and an emotional story, readers are drawn into Simon’s inner battles and the punitive truths confronted by African Americans during this boisterous era.
