Bloody Promenade Reviews
Bloody Promenade is the most original, intellectually satisfying meditation on the Civil War since Edmund Wilson's Patriotic Gore. - Donald McCaig, author of Jacob's Ladder: A Story of Virginia during the War Stephen Cushman's remarkable Bloody Promenade, which focuses on the Battle of the Wilderness in May 1864, has... managed to blend a personal story with a critical gathering of the essential events of that battle and the accounts of it, early and late, in newspapers, weeklies, memoirs, histories, novels,... and poetry.... Lavishly illustrated, Bloody Promenade, which is written in the contemplative mode, is a model for future studies. - George Garrett, Sewanee Review Stephen Cushman has written a moving and provocative personal reflection on the Civil War.... From beginning to end, [he] challenges the reader to accompany him on an emotional, subjective journey meditating on the meaning of war, conflict, and tragedy. It is a journey well worth taking. - Joan Waugh, Virginia Quarterly Review This tour de force ranges as far afield as one can go in examining a single Civil War battle.... The book's sprightliness and enthusiasm make it a surprisingly good read. - James I. Robertson Jr., Richmond Times-Dispatch
