Confederate Military History of Florida; written by Florida's flamboyant cavalry commander J. J. Dickison; traces the political and military events in the Confederacy's least-populated state during the American Civil War. It begins with the secession of the Florida in January 1861 and continues through the actions at Santa Rosa Island; the Battle of Olustee; and the engagement at Natural Bridge. It also includes all the smaller; yet just as important; engagements and skirmishes that occurred in Florida between 1861 and the final surrender in 1865. Florida regiments composed one brigade each in the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of Tennessee and fought in all the major battles in both theaters of war; often in the thickest of the fighting. Dickison details the history of each regiment sent out of state to fight; as well as the infantry; cavalry; and artillery units that stayed in Florida to defend their home state. Originally published as part of the Confederate Military History series edited by former Confederate General Clement A. Evans.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading her story and found many new learnings in this book despite considering myself well read in Holocaust history. I felt for her wanting to explore and gather information about her origins whilst tiptoeing through a mine field of feelings of elderly; unwell survivors of the Nazi era. Sorry Ms Koval but as I read your book that old silly song about shame and scandal in the family kept playing through my head. It is a good story and very well shared.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Her journey and the details she uncovers give us who have not experienced such trauma and despair very personal insights as she painstakingly pieces together her parents' stories. Her perspective from growing up in postwar Australia provides strong contrast and her quest to discover her ancestry is intriguing.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Who am I?By Elizabeth J. LawsonA moving story of Romona's obsessive search to clarify her biological origins. She makes the reader empathise with her need to know and her successes and failures along the way. The lives of European migrants after WW2 were really brought to life. Some editing of her ruminations would have prevented occasional tedium.
