The Boys From Alabama

Alexander Whitaker was Gwen's one and only long before he realized all he had to do was extend her his hand. But before he could claim what was his, duty and loss blocked his way, leaving her at the mercy of a family patriarch with a ruthless plan.

Spanning the horrors of war and defeat from Shilo through the brief triumph of Congressional Reconstruction's perversion of our nation's founding, The Boys From Alabama follows the embattled South's struggle against an unrelenting enemy consumed by inexplicable hatred and driven by insatiable greed. A struggle not for independence, for that was lost, but for its place in the uncharted future of a once promising republic forever altered by the North's lust for power and its incipient wealth.

Rich in history, the novel is set against the backdrop of Mississippi's Noxubee County and Alabama's Greene County in the heart of cotton country, and highlights the patriotic exploits of war-weary, yet undefeated men waging a shadow war against the forces of home-grown treachery and Federal tyranny in the years following the War against Northern Aggression. Spanning the period from the Battle of Shilo in April of 1862 until the second year of Congressional Reconstruction in 1868, the novel is 563 pages long and contains a meaty historical note.
