This sweeping story chronicles one young man’s experience with family and fighting during the Civil War. Drew Rennie is a rebel in more ways than one. Since childhood, he has defied the stern, unforgiving grandfather who reared him and who made no secret of his hatred for Drew’s Texan father. And when the Civil War began, Grandfather’s sympathies with the North, the smoldering feud erupted into a violent quarrel. Now, eighteen-year-old Drew has returned to Kentucky with Morgan’s Raiders, a seasoned veteran with two years of experience fighting for the South. And even though Morgan’s disastrous defeat at Cynthiana clearly reflects the Confederacy’s growing weakness, it never occurs to Drew, his spur-jingling friend Anse Kirby, or young Boyd Barrett to stop fighting. In disorder, without adequate supplies and weapons, and harried by Union soldiers, they battle their way south to join Forrest’s army. Ride Proud, Rebel! is the dramatic story of the long, agonizing retreat of the Army of the Tennessee from Harrisburg, Mississippi, where Boyd was wounded, to the rout of Selma and final surrender. Based on unpublished sources and written by a master storyteller, Drew’s adventures as a scout for Forrest during the last year of the Confederacy make not only a gripping tale but also graphically portray the courage and strength of men who met defeat with honor. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Riding 2,000 miles on horseback from Montana to New Mexico sounds like a crazy but thrilling dream or pure hardship and exhaustion. According to Bernice Ende, the trip was all that and more. Since swinging her leg over the saddle for that first long ride in 2005 (at the age of 50), Ende has logged more than 29,000 miles in the saddle, crisscrossing North America on horseback - alone. More than once she has traversed the Great Plains, the Southwest deserts, the Cascade Range, and the Rocky Mountains. Along the way, she discovered a sense of community and love of place that unites people wherever they live. From 2014-2016, she was the first person to ride coast to coast and back again in one trek, winning acclaim from the international Long Riders' Guild and awe from the people she met along the way. Bernice Ende's memoirs are illuminated by accompanying maps of her routes and photos from her journeys, capturing the instant friends she meets along the way, and her ongoing encounters with harsh weather, wildlife, hard work, mosquitoes, tricky route-finding, and the occasional worn out horseshoe. Ende reveals her inner struggles and triumphs - testing the limits of physical and mental stamina, coping with inescapable solitude, and the rewards of living life her own way, as she says, "in her own skin." Saddle up and come along for the journey of a lifetime.

In its simplest form, this is an action tale about two destitute girls who end up ruling a country. Its underlying current is far deeper, however, with God directing the path for them and for their country. Its guise may be a children's story, but the author weaves an ever-progressive view of our dependency upon our Heavenly Father. He further explores the social and economic plight of humanity through the lens of politics. The author feels that democracy is doomed. Voters will vote themselves money, or when they do not do their homework on life, they will elect their own butchers. As the story evolves, a higher form of government emerges, that of a benevolent dictator with a Christian foundation. Some may ask, "Why not a Muslim dictator like Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini?" Islam is a religion based on harshness and works. In contrast, the basic tenet of Christianity is love, as in, "For God so loved the world" and "Love thy neighbor as thyselves." The reader will see this theme developed throughout the book and, if it is ever put into practice, in reality as well.
