Book Description
As the winds of war began to blow in the spring of 1861, John W. Amick joined the Greenbrier Sharpshooters. According to family legend he was a captain at Carnifex Ferry, Lewisburg and Dogwood Gap reported first to Jackson then later to Lee. In 1862, Captain John Amick led the scouts for General Loring as he recaptured the Kanawha Valley from the invading Yankees. During the war, the Amick scouts battled invaders on Sewell Mountain throughout 1862 and 1863. The Amick Company of Scouts were used as spies across western Virginia. As the Confederacy became overwhelmed in spring of 1864, Captain John resigned his commission to form a guerilla band to protect his family and home. The Amick Partisan Rangers quickly grew to a battalion of four companies commanded by captains Tyree, Halstead, McClung and Baumgardner. The Yankees soon put a price on his head - wanted dead or alive. But his mother said, "You've got to catch him before you can hang him." This is the story of the Amick Partisan Rangers.

Book Description
Peaceful Panther Mountain became a war zone in the summer of 1861. Virginia had broken away from the United States and families in the western part of the state had to choose sides or face jail, exile, or death. 18-year-old Lydia Renick watched her world crumble. Her best friend was forced to sign the Confederate oath. Her father fled the state because he wouldn't, leaving the teenager, her mother and seven siblings to fend for themselves. Faced time and time again with danger, Lydia is forced outside of the world she knows and to act with courage and quick-thinking like never before. She takes on the roles of guard, mountain guide, and detective, all while navigating a life in the 19th century that intersects with the country-molding Civil War and the Chicago World's Fair. Lydia's story is a reflection of the bravery, innovation, and excitement of a country that is truly on the verge.
