Coles The Red Mist (Annotated): Enriched Edition. Civil War Novel at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Randall Parrish's The Red Mist is a vigorous Civil War romance in which military peril, espionage, disguise, and divided allegiance are drawn into the "red mist" of battle and moral confusion. Written in the brisk, plot-driven manner of early twentieth-century popular historical fiction, the novel combines battlefield adventure with sentimental romance, placing private loyalties against the larger catastrophe of national conflict. Its style is direct, dramatic, and pictorial, reflecting the period's taste for historically situated action narratives. Parrish, an American journalist and prolific novelist of frontier and historical romances, brought to such fiction a reporter's eye for incident and a storyteller's instinct for suspense. Born in Illinois and deeply interested in the formative conflicts of American history, he repeatedly turned to the Civil War and the borderlands of national identity. His background in newspapers likely encouraged the novel's swift pacing, vivid scenes, and emphasis on crisis, courage, and personal honor. The Red Mist is recommended for readers interested in Civil War fiction beyond canonical treatments: accessible, dramatic, and revealing of its era's historical imagination. It will especially appeal to those who enjoy romance interwoven with martial adventure, and to scholars of popular American historical fiction seeking insight into how early twentieth-century writers transformed national trauma into narrative excitement. This enriched edition has been carefully crafted to add value to your reading experience. - Hand‐picked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.
