by Staten M. Rall
Real events that occurred in the Civil War of Tennessee and
a soldier's struggle to save his very soul. Stones River - December 31st, 1862
The battle in middle Tennessee has begun and Confederate Sergeant Jon Lyhton is
lost amid scattered skirmishers. Jon obtains a Union overcoat to survive the
freezing night, but his desperate attempts to survive backfire in a horrid
twist that only war can deliver. Disillusioned with himself and the lack of
Confederate efforts to win the battle, Jon is confronted with failure and
dishonor. For atonement, he must take heroic, but drastic action to avert the
very judgment of God and his faith is tested to the limits of the human will.
In vivid contrast are Jon’s experiences of the previous summer at the
Cumberland Gap in Eastern Tennessee. While in the 11th Tennessee Regiment, he
is introduced to garrison duty, first combat and the cold realities of war.
Unionist partisans populate the nearby hills and there, Jon meets Bethanna, the
daughter of German farming emigrants. As her serene valley is threatened by the
encroaching sectional conflict, she must find a way to rise above the chaos of
love and war. True Blue Confederate is a dynamic historical fiction surging
with action, morality, and compassion during extremely difficult circumstances.
Culminating in a heart-clinching final day at Stones River (Murfreesboro),
Staten M. Rall proves that passionate characters still live and breathe in
deeds of chivalry and honor.
