Produktbeschreibung

Aidan At Manassas follows the adventures of Aidan Whitehand and the Georgia Guards before, during and after the first battle of Manassas.Woven into the story are strong elements of family tragedy, betrayal and revenge. Aidan's relationship with General Jackson develops. He is given an independent command and orders to find and kill Union shirkers. The second part describes Aidan's and Graham's journey to Augusta, Georgia and his visit with his mother, sister and Uncle Leo .A lead character is Graham, Aidan's friend who is the company healer. The final part of the book focuses on Aidan's journey with his company to the Shenandoah valley and the fight for the unnamed hill and battle at the bridge. Real historical people such as Jackson, Bee and Burnside are a part of the narrative that includes fictional characters; the all knowing Sergeants Collin and Thrug and an agreeable Colonel Kearns and others I wanted to inject the story with Aidan's perspective of the industrial age, his spiritual candor and his father's mentorship. . The battle, skirmishes, deaths, injuries and all the realities of war are present and infused with a human element. While writing my book I attempted to keep the historical facts accurate but at times re-interpreted history. The faults of any missteps are mine. I enjoyed writing Aidan At Manassas and hope you enjoy reading my book
