find this book to their liking."

"For any Civil War or history enthusiast, The Rebel and the Rose is by far one of the best [nonfiction books] written to date. The authors' writing keeps the reader locked in to each page, desperate for more. This book is one of my absolute favorites in my Civil War collection!!"

James D. Mitchell, "Civil War Buff," Everett, Massachusetts

“I have just finished reading, after 3 days, The Rebel and the Rose!! I found it completely riveting, a real page-turner!!!! The story is totally fascinating, particularly the part that deals with James A. Semple and Julia Gardiner Tyler…”

Charles Peery, Charleston, South Carolina

“A wonderful piece of Americana, The Rebel and the Rose is a masterpiece.”

Strand Bookstore, New York City, New York

“Both military and general-interest libraries will find it engrossing.”

Midwest Book Review, Oregon, Wisconsin

“I really enjoyed reading this book. The depth of the “detective work” done by the authors is outstanding. The mystery and the relationships amongst all the individuals was developed and explained very well. Thank you for bringing this portion of the Civil War into such outstanding light.”

T. Evans, Williamsburg , Virginia

“Mr. Millett and Mr. White have produced a wonderful book that I believe all students of the Civil War will enjoy.”

Bruce Gregory, The Military History Education Group, Atwood, Illinois 

“This is an informative and well written book. Reads like a novel rather than as a history book. Authors provide a great deal of information about the last days of the Confederate government, but in a way that compels you to keep turning the pages. A must read for anyone interested in the Civil War.”
