What is the nature of true courage? In March of 1896, Andrew Jackson Mundy, a senator from the Deep South, is secretly urged by Marc Hanna, the rich kingmaker, to become William McKinley's running mate in the upcoming presidential election. Hanna argues that Mundy, a reconstructed Southern Democrat and wounded Confederate veteran of the Civil War, running with McKinley, a Republican veteran of the Union Army, would help to heal the still festering wounds and head off threats posed by William Jennings Bryan. Had Mundy jumped party lines and seized the opportunity, he, rather than Teddy Roosevelt, would have become President of the United States upon McKinley's assassination a few years later. Mundy had been tempted to accept Hanna's offer why did he refuse? Thus begins a story that goes back to the War Between the States. At the beginning of the Civil War, before the death of hope, no one, least of all the naive, well-read Andrew Jackson Mundy, could foresee or understand the nature of the war they were to fight. Early on, Mundy comes under the spell of the immensely talented and ambitious Evan Martin. When Martin is given the command of a ragtag Confederate army sent to thwart a Federal invasion, Mundy is at first thrilled to be the aide-de-camp of his hero as Martin pulls the army together and wins victories with brilliant tactics. But then, Mundy becomes involved in an atrocity that forces him to consider the nature of true courage and honor. It is a dark, murderous infamy, and it will haunt Andrew Jackson Mundy until his dying day . . . and prevent him from accepting Marc Hanna's offer more than three decades later. Through the experiences of Andrew Jackson Mundy, General Evan Martin, and dozens of other skillfully drawn, colorful characters, Robert H. Fowler provides the reader with fascinating insights into the tactics and strategy of Civil War battles, as well as the grim reality of the forced marches, the blood-torn bodies, the ear-splitting voice of massed artillery, the racket-rattle of musket volleys, the howling charges. It is a tale, at once forlorn and wonderful, of a war bravely fought and bitterly lost. In this brilliant and thrilling story, reminiscent of the novels of MacKinlay Kantor and Michael and Jeff Shaara, Fowler reveals the nature of true courage and brings a tumultuous chapter in American history to poignant life.

Stackpole Books

Robert H. Fowler earned critical acclaim for Jim Mundy, his classic bestseller about a young man's journey to manhood during the American Civil War. Now, in a new novel set in the turbulent American West, Fowler seizes our imagination once again with his tale of a headstrong young girl. Annie Mundy's story begins in North Carolina in 1856, on the eve of the Civil War. The eldest daughter of a prosperous and pious magistrate, Annie is sixteen when scandal forces her westward to Oregon as an indentured servant. Thus begins a strange and wonderful odyssey that takes her to the gold fields of California and into the lives of: a down-at-heel English acting family; a pair of fleeing slaves; a vengeful gambler; a trio of raucous miners; a mean-spirited brothel owner; and two Mexican War veterans who will have a profound influence on Annie's life. As a young nation is bitterly rent by a war that turns boys into hardened men and cherished friends into traitorous enemies, Annie follows the western trail and the dictates of her own peripatetic heart on an exhilarating journey fraught with wonder, sorrow, discovery, and joy. A novel that introduces one of the most unforgettable heroines since Scarlett O'Hara, Annie Mundy takes readers on a rollicking adventure that crosses state lines and cultural and racial divides. As seen through the eyes of a young woman forging her future in a young and violent land, and informed by Annie's unique world view, her tale unfolds as a sweeping panorama that brings the 19th-Century west...and the men and women who endured hardship and calamity to settle this vast, unyielding wilderness...to vibrant, irresistible life.
