GDG- "How Dare He Make Me Care?"

[The Mills]

What I have heard about Kilrain, is that it was a way for Shaara to put in his own thoughts and feelings, that Kilrain was in a sense, Shaara's morals being portrayed in the book, not that he was a hodgepodge of various soldiers, but the voice of the author.  I am not 100% certain of this, so please don't quote me, it is just something I have heard throughout the years.  

Thanks
Andy

I was reading somewhere Buster was a composite of several real soldiers at 
Gettysburg he researched as he was getting together the material for the 
book.
