Book Description
In the small town of Stony Creek, there are no mountains—only endless prairies. The town’s little church is a gathering place for families to catch up on news and learn more about God. As Christmas approaches, the seventy-year-old pastor hopes to bring his congregation together to celebrate. But everything changes when tragedy strikes. After spooked horses tip a wagon and claim the life of a little girl who might have been saved if they had a town doctor, the close-knit-residents must rely on their steadfast faith to come together and help one another as they battle heartache and guilt. With a lofty goal of making their town a welcome place for a doctor, they come up with a great idea. But will their prayers and actions actually work to convince a doctor to open a practice in Stony Creek? Winter at Stony Creek is the heartwarming tale of a small prairie town’s residents as they band together in faith, hope, and determination after a tragedy prompts them to seek a resident doctor.

Book Description
This revised Sesquicentennial edition of Noah Andre TrudeauÍs The Last Citadel, which includes updated text, redrawn maps, and new material, is a groundbreaking study of the most extensive military operation of the Civil Warthe investment of Petersburg, Virginia. The Petersburg campaign began on June 9, 1864, and ended on April 3, 1865, when Federal troops at last entered the city. It was the longest and most costly siege ever to take place on North American soil, yet it has been overshadowed by other actions that occurred at the same time period, most notably ShermanÍs famous ñMarch to the Sea,î and SheridanÍs celebrated Shenandoah Valley campaign. The ten-month Petersburg affair witnessed many more combat actions than the other two combined, and involved an average of 170,000 soldiers, not to mention thousands of civilians who were also caught up in the maelstrom. By its bloody end, the Petersburg campaign would add more than 70,000 casualties to the warÍs total. Petersburg was the key to the war in the East. It lay astride five major railroad lines that in turn supplied the Confederate capital, Richmond. Were Petersburg to fall, these vital arteries would be severed, and Richmond doomed. With the same dogged determination that had seen him through the terrible Overland Campaign, Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant fixed his sights on the capture of Petersburg. GrantÍs opponent, General Robert E. Lee, was equally determined that the ñCockade Cityî would not fall. Trudeau crafts his dramatic and moving story largely through the words of the men and women who were there, including officers, common soldiers, and the residents of Petersburg. What emerges is an epic account rich in human incident and adventure. Based on exhaustive research into official records and unpublished memoirs, letters, and diaries, as well as published recollections and regimental histories, The Last Citadel also includes 23 maps and a choice selection of drawings by on-the-spot combat artists. With The Last Citadel, the Petersburg campaign at last emerges from the shadows to take its rightful place among the unforgettable sagas of the Civil War.
