I am pleased to announce my new book, Preserve It Reader in Remembrance of Me: The Writings and Saga of American Civil War Soldier George Belles is now available. It is an exciting time for me, seeing my labor of love finally come to fruition.
*** Please check back periodically for upcoming events and news on my other works. Thank you!
This book is a saga, the story of an American Civil War soldier based upon a three year collection of compelling Civil War letters and diary entries containing detailed narratives of on and off the battlefield experiences, excruciating physical hardships, an occasional wondrous high and numerous agonizing lows. These gifts from the past were easy to relate to for I also fought in a war, as an infantryman in Vietnam. I intuitively formed a "brothers in arms" bond with this soldier of years long passed. Our wars were a century apart and very different, yet in ways the same---for there are aspects of war shared by combat soldiers of all generations and all military conflicts.
