Description
Known to be some of the bloodiest times in American history, the four years that the Civil War raged was originally referred to as the War Between the States. Called many names afterward, this was a time when some of the already roughest, toughest and most resilient men in our country had to raise the bar even higher. These men endured more pain, saw more bloodshed and had to develop a courage and tenacity to survive like none ever before. Many stories have been written about good men and bad men that came from both the North and the South. However, there seems to be more stories about bad men from the South, and for obvious reasons. When a man has everything taken from him, especially other family members, it tends to harden their heart. Many Rebels from the South felt something was owed to them after the war ended, and some took it upon themselves to collect the only way they knew how. They looted and spilt the blood of the people they felt took everything from them; those from the North. This story is about two men that were around during that era. One, after losing everything he held dear, became an outlaw just so he could even the score between himself and the ‘Yanks’ from the North. Unfortunately for him, there was a second man that was not about to let him pursue his plans. Ironically the second man was also from the South and both men had more to lose than they realized. Both men would have to determine what really mattered to them; vengeance or honor. This book will not account for any credence in American History. Although the stories of many real life characters and places helped shape the following pages, this book is a work of fiction. I hope you enjoy it.
