When Johnathan Traver joined the Union Army in October of 1861,
he imagined a glorious and noble death awash in crimson. Eight
months later, a survivor of Shiloh, Johnathan is still alive,
serving as a master sergeant. To the dismay of his superiors, he
makes it his mission to update battle training techniques, even if
it means becoming an outlaw. He believes modern weapons should
dictate modern battle strategies, but the army still trains men as
if they had muskets.
Johnathan-the disowned son of a wealthy Vermont Squire who
endured an abusive childhood-meets Esher, an illiterate orphan from
the prairie, and they become warrior companions. Adventure is
Johnathan's word for their union; love is Esher's. What's more, the
vast difference in their backgrounds forms an obstacle for them.
Esher belabors this difference; Johnathan doesn't.
Sharing a tale of the Union soldiers in the midst of the Civil
War, "Sweetgrass: Book II" remembers them for their bravery and
communicates a triumph of the spirit.
Easterner Johnathan Traver joined the Union Army to die a glorious,
crimson death. He feels a valiant death will liberate him from his
abusive boyhood. Yet in April of 1862, right after the victory in
the battle of Shiloh, he is still alive while thousands of others
have perished. Sergeant Traver faces a challenge; he firmly
believes they're fighting a modern war that calls for modern
tactics. Traver's new training techniques could change the course
of the Civil War, and he teaches them to his squad, company, and
regiment. But the army regards his efforts as seditious and views
Traver as a traitor. On a personal level, Traver's authority could
be threatened when he falls in love with eighteen-year-old Esher
Coley, a new recruit from the West. As they become warrior
companions, their focus shifts. A profound Civil War love story
that overcomes ingrained pain and heals old wounds, "Sweetgrass:
Book I" communicates a triumph of the spirit.
