Reviews
With a horse like this, you just want to ride....Olmstead makes the ride an exciting one--in lean prose, reminiscent of Crane's Red Badge of Courage, with just the proper amount of sharp description., With his lush, incantatory voice, Robert Olmstead describes a boy thrust into one of the war's most horrific moments. . . . Gorgeous and moving., " Robey's journey is a small-scale epic that will find a broad audience in... fans of Civil War historical fiction." - Library Journal, "With his lush, incantatory voice, Robert Olmstead describes a boy thrust into one of the war's most horrific moments. . . gorgeous and moving passages" --Washington Post Book World, "A spare, classical quest story . . . With a horse like this, you just want to ride, and with descriptive powers such as he displays here, Olmstead makes the ride an exciting one, with just enough lean prose to keep the mystery of an event both in time and out . . . and just the proper amount of sharp description to keep us bound to whatever piece of earth the particular moment of the story happens to be grounded in. . . . An effective mix of stark classic narrative and uncloying nostalgia." -- San Francisco Chronicle, "A spare, classical quest story . . . With a horse like this, you just want to ride, and with descriptive powers such as he displays here, Olmstead makes the ride an exciting one, with just enough lean prose to keep the mystery of an event both in time and out . . . and just the proper amount of sharp description to keep us bound to whatever piece of earth the particular moment of the story happens to be grounded in. . . . An effective mix of stark classic narrative and uncloying nostalgia." --San Francisco Chronicle, Fast-moving yet carefully measured, a riveting tale of the American past and a brilliantly realized journey into the heart of darkness....It's as muscular, sturdy, well-hewn, and wise as the coal black horse himself.

Synopsis
When Robey Childs's mother has a premonition about her husband, a soldier fighting in the Civil War, she does the unthinkable: she sends her only child to find his father on the battlefield and bring him home. At fourteen, wearing the coat his mother sewed to ensure his safety--blue on one side, gray on the other-- Robey thinks he's off on a great adventure. But not far from home, his horse falters and he realizes the enormity of his task. It takes the gift of a powerful and noble coal black horse to show him how to undertake the most important journey of his life: with boldness, bravery, and self-posession. Coal Black Horse joins the pantheon of great war novels-- All Quiet on the Western Front, The Red Badge of Courage, The Naked and the Dead .
