A Lincoln Conscript (Illustrated Edition‪)‬

A powerful coming-of-age story set during the American Civil War—where loyalty to family collides with loyalty to country.

Set against the dramatic backdrop of 1863 and the turning point of the Civil War, A Lincoln Conscript follows young Bob Bannister as he struggles to define his place in a divided world. While his community rallies behind the Union cause, his father stands firmly opposed—branded a dissenter in a time when conformity is expected.

As tensions rise and the realities of war draw closer, Bob faces an impossible choice: remain loyal to his father or answer the call of duty. His journey leads him from small-town conflict to the very heart of a nation at war—and into the presence of Abraham Lincoln himself.
