The author describes how, in the many years following Postlethwaite's death, all record of the soldier's life was lost. Rolston, through tireless research, found Sam and secured an "honorable burial" for the only known Confederate soldier to be buried in Rhode Island. To add context to the story of his discovery, Rolston relates the history of two families~the Greenes from Rhode Island and the Postlethwaites from Mississippi~and gives a detailed account of how individuals from each family were involved in the Civil War. Lost Soul explores how these wartime enemies became family, and how their union led a battle~tested Confederate soldier to spend his last days~and all eternity~in the North. Combining an impressive amount of research with a compelling story line, Lost Soul is a must~read for any Civil War enthusiast or family historian.
