"John Brown's Body is a large and yet profoundly intimate narrative of the Civil War, told in a poetic diction and imagery..." "John Brown's Body contains magnificent individual scenes - Lincoln's anguished and noble soliloquy in the White House, the Battle of Gettysburg as experienced by Jack Ellyat, the birth of Melora's child, Mary Lou Wingate defying a foraging Northern solider, the exchange of prisoners between the Rebs and the Yanks."
