Robey first stops at the local village store and the owner lends him a magnificent coal black horse to aid him in his travels. Robey leaves those mountains a boy, but returns a man in emotion and worldview. He encounters all manner of evil and destruction, but he, with the horse's help, fulfills his obligation.My thoughts: At first, I thought the writing was (consciously) too literary, but the author's descriptive writing is quite good, and after Robey encounters evil for the first time, I could not put the book down. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ When you experience the worst the world can throw at you *by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2017* Robey is 14 years old. The Civil War is raging. His mother learns that Stonewall Jackson has been killed, therefore in her opinion, the South now has no chance in winning. She then decides to send the boy out to the battlefields to find his father and bring him home.This is a very dark story that goes far beyond the loss of innocence. When you experience the worst the world can throw at you, there are consequences. When a child is introduced to the gates of hell, will he fight against it or join it?This is a dark tale with a dark message about the true cost of war. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Coal Black Horse *by B***C on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2012* The fine book created so many diverse emotions in me--all of them powerful. This book works incredbily well on so many levels it's hard for me to even find words to describe how moved I was by the end. It is the story of a young man searching for his father, who is a combatant in the War Between The States; yes it is that. It is a graphic description of one of the most deadly battles of that war; yes it is that. It is a strange love story; yes it is that. The whole of it written so beautifully, graphically, humorously, horrifyingly--lyrical. This is a beautiful book that is breathtaking in it's language, in its depiction of what that war was...that part is horrifying, yes it is, but compelling. In a time when we are at war but so far removed from it, I think it inmperitive we are reminded of the real horror of war. I read it straight through, for I could not put it down. It is a stunningly wonderful book. I will read more by this talented author. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/66515187-coal-black-horse](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/66515187-coal-black-horse) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
