This book was released on 2007 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murder echoes off the rugged peaks of the Cutthroat Mountains in the Pacific Northwest and shatters the complacency of guests at Slate Creek Lodge. For one of those guests the death of a colleague brings the emptiness of his own life into sharp relief. As far as Donald McLure can see trading the life of a forensic pathologist in Scotland for that of an academic in the USA has been a mistake. Despite the outward appearance of success he feels unfulfilled. He doesn't belong in this country. His work is esoteric. His wife spends increasing amounts of time abroad and is even more distant when she is at home. The only accomplishments that give him any comfort are the security and happiness of his three kids. Although excluded from the official investigation, Donald is fascinated by the details of this ruthlessly planned murder. When his son's ex-girlfriend is accused of the crime he launches himself on a quest to exonerate the young woman. Following threads and inconsistencies that the police are ignoring he encounters evasion and half truths from the dead man's colleagues in Seattle and hostility from the residents of Slate Creek Valley. Beneath the tranquil veneer of rural life Donald encounters people more interested in a twenty-year-old murder that rocked the community than in this recent murder of an outsider. A family of faded aristocrats clings to the myths of bygone times. A bitter and twisted artist paints hostile pictures to offend the tourists. From the tightly wound innkeeper to a nest of anti-government zealots Donald's probing uncovers more about the old murder than the one he set out to solve. Goaded by a collusion of deceit he stumbles into mortal danger, confronts the killer, and faces up to the realities of his own life.

Download or read book The 101st Pennsylvania in the Civil War: Its Capture and Pow Experience written by Harold Birch and published by . This book was released on 2007-03 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author's first book, The 50th Pennsylvania's Civil War Odyssey, addressed the wartime journey of a regiment that fought in six Southern states. In this, his second Civil War tale, you follow the hardships faced by a regiment that fought in only two. It fought in McClellan's Virginia Peninsula Campaign and then, in its second major fight at Plymouth, NC in April 1864, the entire Union garrison was captured by General Hoke's Confederate forces. This book also focuses on a lucky lieutenant from Bedford, Pennsylvania, who escaped from rebel captivity with two companions and, with help from field slaves and Unionists in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee, walked 250 miles in 42 days to Union lines. His regiment, the 101st Pennsylvania, was not so fortunate. Captured in April of 1864 in its entirety at Plymouth, NC, nearly half of its enlisted men perished in Confederate POW camps.

Book Synopsis Chickamauga, Andersonville, Fort Sumter and Guard Duty at Home by : Robert P. Broadwater

This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best way to bring an event from the past into vivid life is to see it through the eyes of someone who lived it. In this book the reader sees the Civil War through the eyes of four Union soldiers who, although they were all from south central Pennsylvania, experienced the war in radically different ways. The journals of the four--Lt. William Glison of the 6th Ohio Infantry, Sergeant Will Duncan of the 2nd Pennsylvania Militia Battalion, John M. Kelly of the 39th Illinois Volunteer Infantry and Private George Schmittle of the 13th Pennsylvania Calvary--give the reader a glimpse into the daily life of the soldier. Written primarily during 1863 and 1864, entries are in each soldier's own words (including idiosyncrasies of grammar and spelling). Commentary is added when necessary to elaborate or clarify as well as to fix each experience on the canvas of the war as a whole. A capsule history and muster roll are included for each company along with an appendix listing all the corps of the Federal army and giving a brief history of each corps' service.

Book Synopsis From Home Guards to Heroes by : Dennis W. Brandt
Download or read book From Home Guards to Heroes written by Dennis W. Brandt and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2007-01-30 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The soldiers of the 87th Pennsylvania Infantry fought in the Overland campaign under Grant and in the Shenandoah valley under Sheridan, notably at the Battle of Monocacy. But as Dennis Brandt reveals in From Home Guards to Heroes, their real story takes place beyond the battlefield. The 87th drew its men from the Scotch-Irish and German populations of York and Adams counties in south-central Pennsylvania—a region with closer ties to Baltimore than to Philadelphia—where some citizens shared Marylanders’ southern views on race while others aided the Underground Railroad. Brandt’s unique regimental history investigates why these “boys from York” enlisted and why some deserted, the ways in which soldiers reflected their home communities, and the area’s attitudes toward the war both before and after hostilities broke out. Brandt takes a humanistic approach to the Civil War, revealing the more personal aspects of the struggle in a book that focuses on the soldiers themselves. Using their own words to describe action both on and off the battlefield, he sheds light on the lives of ordinary men: the comparative values of farm and city boys, their motives and concerns, the effect of battle on soldiers and their families, and the suffering that veterans took to the grave. Brandt also looks at soldiers’ racial views, illuminating their deepest worries about the war, and at community politics and problems of discipline surrounding this ideologically divided unit. Grounded in more than a decade of research into nearly two thousand military records, this is one of the few regimental histories based on more than one thousand pension records for the entire regiment, plus nearly eight hundred additional record sets for other area soldiers. Brandt tapped regional newspapers and a cache of unpublished letters and diaries—some from private collections not previously known—to provide an invaluable account of Civil War sensibilities in a northern area bordering a slave state. From Home Guards to Heroes is a book about war in which humanity rather than troop movement takes center stage. Engagingly written for a wide audience and meticulously researched, it offers a distinctive image of a community and the intimate lives of the men it sent off to fight—and a story that will intrigue any Civil War aficionado.
Book Synopsis The Pennsylvania Wilds and the Civil War by : Kathy Myers
Download or read book The Pennsylvania Wilds and the Civil War written by Kathy Myers and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-22 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Call of Service and the Trial of War From abolitionists to copperheads, from patriotic volunteer soldiers to deserters, the Pennsylvania Wilds lived up to its adventurous name during the Civil War era. The region not only joined the front lines, but also played its part in the abolition of slavery. Including an extensive Underground Railroad system, many defied the Federal Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 to help those desperate to be free pass through the region on their way to Canada. The Wilds had average citizens and heroes alike volunteer for service including women who were not nurses but acted as nurses and those who remained on the home-front. Author Kathy Meyers presents stories of how the war came to the Pennsylvania Wilds and how the people of the Wilds responded.
