Taps for Private Tussie
Winner of the 1943 Thomas Jefferson Southern Award for literature. 'Taps' sold over one million copies and became one of Stuart's best known works. Stuart's writing style has been criticized as simplistic but he was able to bring his characters to life in his tales of rural Kentucky and its people. Perhaps not as good as his masterful 'The Thread That Runs So True' but 'Taps' is still a fun read. Illustrated by Thomas Hart Benton.
