September Suspense

AT THE TIME OF THE CIVIL WAR, newspapers were the CNN, the blogs and the social media of their day. They reflected the beating pulse of American intellect. But in many cases, it has taken the digital age to unlock the precious content of these relics of mass media and bring them to life through searchable archives.

Now, nationally recognized historian Dennis Frye tells the story of one of America's darkest months through the thoughts and words of the people who were living the Civil War in the late summer of 1862. Using new media to explore the old, this fascinating work spins a gripping story of a nation in crisis from an original angle.

SEPTEMBER SUSPENSE adds significant meaning and context to the epic event that came closer to dividing this nation in two than most people have ever imagined.
