The author's first book, The 50th Pennsylvania's Civil War Odyssey,
addressed the wartime journey of a regiment that fought in six
Southern states. In this, his second Civil War tale, you follow the
hardships faced by a regiment that fought in only two. It fought in
McClellan's Virginia Peninsula Campaign and then, in its second
major fight at Plymouth, NC in April 1864, the entire Union
garrison was captured by General Hoke's Confederate forces. This
book also focuses on a lucky lieutenant from Bedford, Pennsylvania,
who escaped from rebel captivity with two companions and, with help
from field slaves and Unionists in the mountains of North Carolina
and Tennessee, walked 250 miles in 42 days to Union lines. His
regiment, the 101st Pennsylvania, was not so fortunate. Captured in
April of 1864 in its entirety at Plymouth, NC, nearly half of its
enlisted men perished in Confederate POW camps.
