Book Description
April – 1862 With the Union Navy pounding at its doors, the time has come for the people of Confederate New Orleans to choose sides – and go to war. From the narrow streets of the French Quarter to wind swept Lake Ponchartrain and the vast bayou country, the battle of New Orleans plunged men and women into chaos, tragedy and a struggle for survival and revenge. Luke Coldiron came from the New Mexico territory to New Orleans with 250 horses to sell as mounts for the Confederate Cavalry. He found the city overrun by Union forces, a beautiful woman driven by fury, and an act of treachery that would pit him against a renegade Union marine commander. Susan Dauphin watched her world, created by generations of labor by her family, go up in smoke and flames. Driven into a struggle against the marauding Union marines, she would earn one man’s hatred, and another’s undying love. Marine Commander Rawls landed in New Orleans from Admiral Farragut’s Navy flotilla. Ripping into enemy heartland, he broke the Confederate hold on the city, and began a dirty private war of murder and theft of his own.

Book Description
A candidate for the title of “unsung hero” among the Union generals of the Civil War, Alpheus Williams, “Old Pap” to his men, wrote as frequently as he could to his family in Detroit of his successes, achievements and battles during that terrible period of strife. In this engaging collection of his correspondence he recounts the part he played in the battles both East and West at Second Bull Run, Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Atlanta and the Savannah campaign. A kind hearted man, he was deeply affected by the hardships suffered by the common soldiers under his command who he treated with great care and often sorrow at the awful casualties they suffered. Warmly recommended. “Superb war letters. . . . Old ‘Pap’ Williams possessed an unconscious literary flair that gives simple style and force to his letters. . . . Milo Quaife has added annotation that will enlighten the casual reader and satisfy the scholar.”—New York Times Book Review “Civil War scholars are always grateful for a volume of letters written by a high-ranking officer who held important commands in pivotal engagements. . . . A superior collection. . . . Especially useful to students of the war are his keen, detailed accounts of Antietam, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg.”—American Historical Review
