About the Book

'Gone With the Wind' meets 'Titanic'! They survived Civil War killing fields, prison, starvation, even a train wreck - all true. But these reluctant soldiers and courageous women could not stop the hand of fate - the terrible swift sword - that awaited them. Their long road led relentlessly to the flaming decks of the steamboat Sultana, the Civil War disaster that no one remembers. Yet even in tragedy, they found renewed life. Love, compassion, greed, redemption, and above all, hope - 'Terrible Swift Sword: Long Road to the Sultana' has them all. If you don't know the story of the Sultana or if you've ever suffered adversity in life, this is the book for you. These are characters you won't be able to forget - not after you've shared their long road to the Sultana. Recommended for general audiences as well as readers interested in American history, the Civil War, historical fiction, the Sultana disaster, women's history, adventure, inspiration.
