Search - Ghost Riders

Civil War re-enactors trying to relive the past call up things they have no concept about and are in a serious fix when things get out of their control. The main characters, past and present, are depicted each in their own chapter and the story switches back and forth in time from the present day to the Civil War days in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee.

An intriquing and entertaining tale told in present time by "Rattler" a Cherokee descendant with the gift of sight while in the Civil War days, the story is told from the point of view of the main characters.

A good read especially if you like ghost stories but, this one is based on real facts. Light romance, no sex and not heavy on the gory details.

One of Sharyn McCrumb's best, it weaves a story of the past in with current Civil War battle re-enactors. Very absorbing.

I loved this book. It gives a very different view of the Civil War, how it affected certain southerners...namely North Carolinians. Shows a way of thinking not usual in Civil War novels. It somewhat reminds me of Cold Mountain, although the story is so very different. And, like many of McCrumb's books, this is loosely based on fact.

Would have been a great story without the ghosts. They add nothing to the story but confusion. Overall I enjoyed the book as a civil war fictional history story, but the ghost part of it seemed to be rather random and added little to the overall story line. Definitely did not need to be the title of the book.

Sharyn McCrumb's stories, but just couldn't seem to get into this one. It was just too slow for me. I picked it up more than once & finally decided not to keep on plodding through it.

For Civil War buffs this book is a treasure. The plot, the writing style--fascinating!!
