Abstract:

Charles Frazier's novel, COLD MOUNTAIN, tells of a deserter from the Confederate Army and his journey home to his wife in North Carolina. It is considered one of the best American novels written since 1950. The story accurately depicts locations and events during the Civil War. By writing the book in real-time and in location, Frazier is able to express the depth of the main character's struggle as he travels home.
