"The first published translation into English of Un Revenant, an 1884 romantic adventure by Remi Tremblay, a French-Canadian author who turned his own experiences as a teenage enlistee in the Civil War into a story of two fascinating heroes. Tremblay served in the 14th Regular U.S. Infantry, fought in the battles of Spottsylvania Courthouse, The Wilderness, Cold Harbor, and Petersburg, and was imprisoned in Libby prison. One Came Back is the story of Civil War events large and small as only someone who was there can tell it."--BOOK JACKET.
