About the Book

As the Army of Northern Virginia retreats from Gettysburg, Lieutenant Harry Kenton worries that Lee's army may be trapped by the flooded Potomac River before it can reach the relative safety of southern soil. A watery wrestling match with the Northern spy William J. Shepard and a confiscated Union dispatch confirm Harry's suspicions that General Meade's Army of the Potomac is trying frantically to cut off Lee's line of retreat. Pursued by Union cavalry, infantry, and the partisan citizens of Pennsylvania, Harry must reach General Lee with the news before it's too late. Convinced that the conflict between himself and Shepard has become a personal one, Harry rejoices each time he successfully eludes the spy's ever-present grasp but remains respectful of Shepard's amazing abilities. If it wasn't for the war, they could surely become the best of friends! With Lee's army safely across the Potomac, Harry and his comrades await the North's next offensive. In the battles of The Wilderness, these staunch southern fighters suffer horrible casualties in a desperate defense of Richmond. As the South's resources for waging war dwindle, General Lee needs a miracle to save the Confederacy. Can his battle-hardened veterans stop the Northern juggernaut? This eight-book set tells the story of America's greatest conflict through the lives and experiences of Kentucky cousins Harry Kenton and Dick Mason. Torn between family ties and political beliefs, father and son Kenton serve in the Confederate army, while Dick Mason leaves his widowed mother and fights to preserve the Union. Unlike many contemporary historical fiction accounts of the Civil War, this series brings to life the human drama of the war without resorting to foul language and gratuitous violence. Our editing team updated the punctuation and footnoted less familiar words making these classic books more understandable for the modern reader.
