The Importance of Telling My Great Grandfather’s Story

A Native American saying goes like this: “Tell me the Facts, and l will Learn. Tell me the Truth, and I will Believe. But tell me a Story, and it will Live In My Heart Forever.”

I truly hope that readers will embrace my Civil War story of love and resilience, and it will give us hope for the future of America.

    I am nearly done with your very fine new book. My great great grandfather served in 1863-1864 in a Union Kentucky Mounted infantry regiment (45th Kentucky) in the actions you describe at Mt. Sterling, Cynthiana, Saltville late in your book. Thank you for researching and portraying the struggles and drama of this corner of the Civil War. The battles may have been smaller in scope, but the intensity of struggle that intimately split familie–at times for generations–is heartrending. Thank you for your work.
