Over one hundred and fifty years after it began, the Civil War still fascinates us—the vast armies marching to war, iconic leaders like Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee, the drama of a nation divided. But the Civil War was also about individuals, the hundreds of thousands of ordinary men and boys who fought and died on either side and the families and friends left at home. This Wicked Rebellion: Wisconsin Civil War Soldiers Write Home tells this other side of the story. Drawing from over 11,000 letters in the Wisconsin Historical Society’s Civil War collection, it gives a unique and intimate glimpse of the men and women who took part in the War for the Union. Follow Wisconsin soldiers as they sign up or get drafted, endure drill and picket duty, and get their first experiences of battle. Join them as they fight desperation and fear, encounter the brutality of slavery, and struggle with the reasons for war. From impressions of army life and the South to the hardships of disease and battle, these letters tell the story of the war through the eyes and pens of those who fought in it. This Wicked Rebellion brings to life the heroism and heartache, mayhem and misery of the Civil War, and the powerful role Wisconsin played in it.
The first comprehensive work of its kind, David Rolfs' No Peace for the Wicked sheds new light on the Northern Protestant soldiers' religious worldview and the various ways they used it to justify and interpret their wartime experiences. Drawing extensively from the letters, diaries and published collections of hundreds of religious soldiers, Rolfs effectively resurrects both these soldiers' religious ideals and their most profound spiritual doubts and conflicts. No Peace for the Wicked also explores the importance of "just war" theory in the formulation of Union military strategy and tactics, and examines why the most religious generation in U.S. history fought America's bloodiest war. --from publisher description.
Dark secrets brought to light and terrible acts driven by fear and hatred ignite a bloody war within the shadows just beyond this world. The Hell Realm is a beautiful and terrible place ravaged by centuries of chaos. Starving and abused creatures riot against their unjust king. An attempt to bring about peace ends in a tragic sacrifice. Mad with grief, the king locks the gates to the Hell Realm and hides away the key. Almost eighteen years later, the gates are accidentally left open, unleashing the hungry Hell creatures on the world. Sabrina, better known as Brina, knew nothing about the Hell Realm and her role as its princess until a nap in the cemetery triggers the beginning of a prophecy made years ago. It hints that she may be the change the Hell Realm has been waiting for. Brina is a fragile, haunted teenager, or so the outsiders think until she is confronted with the monsters hiding in the shadows. With her father missing, Brina is left to be protected by her sarcastic, tough love giving best friend, Jayson. The two are joined by Jayson's older brother and the object of her hopeless crush. The three are forced to run for their lives and fight off creatures that want to kill Brina or use her to win the war that has been waging on for centuries. After learning painful truths about herself and the ancestors that came before, Brina must make a decision. Will she follow in her father's footsteps and allow hatred and fear to guide her, or will she change the Hell Realm for the better and bring the creatures that call it home the justice they deserve?
