Patriots and Rebels

PATRIOTS AND REBELS shines light on aspects of the Civil War largely neglected in historical fiction. It is told through the voices and experiences of Tom Files, a Union soldier from Alabama, and his fourteen year old daughter, Fannie, who survived the war at home with her mother and young sisters. Tom’s sense of duty and loyalty to the nation his grandfathers helped create in 1776 places him and his family in grave danger, caught between the forces of patriotism and rebellion.

>>> “A STANDOUT IN CIVIL WAR LITERATURE”
“Patriots and Rebels is an impressive work that combines both engaging storytelling and historical fact and context. Commitment to historical accuracy without relying on common myths or stereotypes has established this book as a standout in Civil War literature” —WILLIAM R. FERRIS, Professor of History, University of North Carolina; Center for the Study of the American South; former chairman, National Endowment for the Humanities.
