Loyal Books

Burial of the Guns by Thomas Nelson Page is a arts podcast hosted by Loyal Books. It has 11 episodes, with the latest published January 2022.

This is a book of short stories centered around the Civil War and its aftermath. The author was a prominent Virginian in his day, and his writing shows a talent for poignant reminiscences. The title comes from the second story, in which an artillery unit detached from Lee's army determines to follow their last orders - not to let their cannons fall into Union hands - despite Lee's surrender and the end of the War in Virginia. The other stories focus on individuals in the post-War years.
