Praise for Long Remember
"So haunting. . . . Kantor's depiction of the confusion, noise, and terror of a battlefield can't be bettered. . . . A welcome reissue, offering further proof that Kantor was one of the preeminent historical novelists of the past century." — Kirkus Reviews
"The social life and customs of mid-19th century small town life are as well developed as his treatment of the historical figures and the battle itself. Bane's uncertainty and inner turmoil in the face of a world gone mad give the work a "feel" few others have. This is . . . the intensely personal struggle of young soldiers and terrified civilians caught up in events far beyond their comprehension." —Historical Novel Society
