The Guns Never Stop — Jack Beddall

The sights, sounds, pains and memories of the battlefield do not end when the sun goes down. On the contrary, for the people who were out there, they never quite go away. The Guns Never Stop is a historically accurate version of one man's story.
Leaving his wife behind in Kansas, Reese Yates finds himself a Confederate soldier, a Private in the 1st Texas Brigade. They went into the Battle of Sharpsburg with two hundred twenty six healthy men, and came out at the end of the day with less than forty. Reese Yates was not one of them. Severely wounded, his recovery is slow. It is made more slow by the fact that he is misidentified at the hospital, and that his memory is shattered into small bits and pieces which make no sense to him or to anyone else.
After his release from the hospital, he makes the most difficult journey of his life, trying to find out who he is, and where he is from. Three hospitals, a Yankee prison camp, a Confederate jail, and a series of shocking discoveries await him. He sees the best of people and the worst of people, has great happiness and tragic sorrow as he puts together the pieces of what once was his life.
