Reception
Publishers Weekly wrote in review, "The harsh conditions and brutal implications of the historic battle interspersed with snappy dialogue and 20th-century humor proves an appealing mix, though older readers may find the anti-war message a bit heavy-handed." In their publication Pennsylvania Legacies, The Historical Society of Pennsylvania commented that the book would appeal to readers of fantasy novels and adventure stories.
