Nestled between the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia's Shenandoah Valley enjoyed tremendous prosperity before the Civil War. This valuable stretch of land - called "the Breadbasket of the Confederacy" due to its rich soil and ample harvests - became the source of many conflicts between the Confederate and Union armies. Of the thirteen major battles fought here, none was more influential than the Battle of Cedar Creek. On October 19, 1864, General Philip Sheridan's Union troops finally gained control of the valley, which eliminated the Shenandoah as a supply source for Confederate forces in Virginia, ended the valley's role as a diversionary theater of war and stopped its use as an avenue of invasion into the North

Bronwyn Trotters ‘Cedar Creek’ – Book Two of The Trappers Promise trilogy, continues the intriguing story of Sarah Cole: A trapper, born and raised in the wilds of the Rockies. Winter has arrived with a vengeance! The trappers have left the mountain to get paid for their skins so they can get supplies to see them through next year’s trapping, but Sarah hates Cedar Creek. The day she and her son Thomas ride in, she clashes with new sheriff Christian Morgan, a man with a past he is trying hard to keep buried, and they become embroiled in a stormy relationship. Setting up camp on the riverbank below town just like she has done every winter for the past twelve years suits Sarah just fine. But Christian wants to make love to Sarah in a warm bed rather than outside in the cold, after all, he has the bottom floor of Mountain View Lodge all to himself. Christian however, doesn’t know Sarah once owned the lodge - because no-one will tell him anything about her. Convinced Benjamin Crawley murdered her father so he could take ownership of the lodge, Sarah is adamant she will never step foot inside that house - ever again. For the trappers who have promised to look out for Sarah, trouble is always close by. How can simple vermin like river rats, get Sarah in trouble with the law?

The many regiments that fought in the Civil War each had their own stories to tell about what they saw, smelled, tasted, heard and felt while serving in war. The Second Vermont Volunteer Infantry Regiment saw its first combat at the Battle of Bull Run and fought on to Lee's surrender. This richly illustrated work draws from service, pension and court-martial records, and personal letters and diaries to portray the junior officers, noncommissioned officers, and privates of the regiment as they were in battle, on the march, and in camp. Some were heroes, like Private William W. Noyes, awarded the Medal of Honor, and others were not, like Private George E. Blowers, executed for desertion. A roster of the 1,858 men who served in the regiment is provided.

William Taylor Stott was a native Hoosier and an 1861 graduate of Franklin College, who later became the president who took the college from virtual bankruptcy in 1872 to its place as a leading liberal arts institution in Indiana. The story of Franklin College is the story of W. T. Stott, yet his influence was not confined to the school’s parameters. Stott was an inspirational and intellectual force in the Indiana Baptist community, and a foremost champion of small denominational colleges and of higher education in general. He also fought in the Eighteenth Indiana Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War, rising from private to captain by 1863. Stott’s diary reveals a soldier who was also a scholar.

Women in the United States military have received more recognition than ever in recent years, but women also played vital roles in battles and campaigns of previous generations. Cathy Williams served as Pvt. William Cathay from 1866 to 1868 with the famed Buffalo Soldiers who patrolled the 900-mile Santa Fe Trail. Tucker traces her life from her birth as a slave near Independence, Missouri, to her service in Company A, 38th U.S. Infantry, one of the six black units formed following the Civil War. Cathy Williams remains the only known African American woman to have served as a Buffalo Soldier in the Indian Wars. Her remarkable story continues to represent a triumph of the human spirit.
