The Red Badge Of Courage***** by Stephen Crane. Published by Lancer books, 1967. First published in 1895, Softcover, 223 pages. Historical Fiction. Some find that the story drags at times, but when this came out, there were still many Civil War vets still alive & they basically praised the book, because they were able to relate to Henry. It stirred some controversy, as it portrayed the lead character as a coward at first, but this caused more people to read it I'm sure. Crane died at an early age & this has always been remembered as his masterpiece. My copy has no ISBN number, but has the Magnum reference of 13-402. I'm sure there are other editions floating around. I picked mine up at a Goodwill store for a dime. It was the same edition I read as a boy. The entire story is located on-line as well, in case you do not want to buy the book, but still have an interest in reading it.
