Omschrijving

Mohun is a Civil War novel that blends historical events with fiction, recounting the final days of the Confederate army under General Robert E. Lee. The novel is a sequel to Surry of Eagle's-Nest, continuing the adventures of its protagonist, Colonel Surry. Through a romanticized lens, Cooke portrays the experiences of soldiers, heroism, and the South's struggle during the war. The narrative mixes real military figures with imaginative scenes, offering a nostalgic view of the Confederacy's demise.

John Esten Cooke (1830-1886) was a prolific Virginia-born writer best known for his historical romances and works focused on the American Civil War.
