THE BLOODY TWENTY NINTH By Colonel Charles Dahnmon Whitt. History tells us 'The Twenty-ninth Virginia Infantry Regiment was raised in southwest Virginia where the counties of Tazewell, Russell, Buchannan, Carroll, and Scott supplied most volunteers and recruits for this Regiment'. Dahnmon Whitt's book is based on true events and is written in his usual and appealing historical-fiction manner. Names, dates, places and some events are used as a backdrop to other, imagined dialogue, opinion and reactions. Arguably the best piece of written work by this author to date, Dahnmon Whitt reveals in his imaginative style, the hard fought lives of country folk and the sacrifices they made over and against a continuous four year onslaught. Dahnmon Whit brings the Civil War in Virginia to life through these people of Virginia and persuades the reader to recognise their struggle for what is was - a feat of true heroism.
