Produktbeschreibung
In "The Last Rebel," Joseph A. Altsheler weaves a gripping narrative set against the backdrop of the American Civil War. This historical novel is characterized by its vivid descriptions and immersive characterizations, embodying the complexities of loyalty and conflict. Altsheler employs a rich, evocative prose style that transports readers to the tumultuous era, while also engaging with themes of honor, sacrifice, and the human cost of war. His ability to intertwine fictional characters with historical figures provides a poignant exploration of the moral ambiguities faced by those caught in the struggle between North and South. Joseph A. Altsheler, an American author known for his extensive works centered on American history, drew inspiration from his own interests in the Civil War and its legacy. Having been raised in Kentucky, a border state embroiled in the conflict, Altsheler possessed a profound understanding of the regional loyalties and the conflicting ideologies that shaped the nation. His deep appreciation for history and storytelling culminated in this novel, where he sought to capture the essence of a turbulent time through dramatic narratives. I highly recommend "The Last Rebel" to readers seeking an engaging and historically rich exploration of the American Civil War. The book not only entertains but also provokes thoughtful reflection on the ramifications of war on personal and national identity, making it a valuable addition to any historical fiction enthusiast's library.

Autorenporträt
Joseph A. Altsheler was born on April 29, 1862, in Three Springs, Hart County, Kentucky, to Joseph and Louise Altsheler. He was a newspaper reporter, editor, and author of popular juvenile historical fiction. He wrote fifty novels and at least fifty-three short stories. Seven of his novels were in sequence. He worked as an editor at the Louisville Courier-Journal in 1885. In 1892, he started to work for New York World and then as the editor of the World's tri-weekly magazine. He wrote children's stories due to a lack of suitable stories. On May 30, 1880, Altsheler married Sarah Boles and had a son named Sidney. In 1914, during World War I Altsheler and his family were in Germany and they were forced to remain there. Altsheler died at the age of 57, on June 5, 1919, in New York. His wife, Sarah Boles died after 30 years. Their bodies are buried at the Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky. Although each of the thirty-two novels constitutes an independent story, Altsheler suggested reading in sequence for each series (that is, he numbered the volumes). You can read the remaining eighteen novels in any order.
