Download or read book Junius and Albert s Adventures in the Confederacy written by Peter Carlson and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Junius Browne and Albert Richardson covered the Civil War for the New York Tribune until Confederates captured them as they tried to sneak past Vicksburg on a hay barge. Shuffled from one Rebel prison to another, they escaped and trekked across the snow-covered Appalachians with the help of slaves and pro-Union bushwhackers. Their amazing, long-forgotten odyssey is one of the great escape stories in American history, packed with drama, courage, horrors and heroics, plus moments of antic comedy. On their long, strange adventure, Junius and Albert encountered an astonishing variety of American characters—Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant, Rebel con men and Union spies, a Confederate pirate-turned-playwright, a sadistic hangman nicknamed “the Anti-Christ,” a secret society called the Heroes of America, a Union guerrilla convinced that God protected him from Confederate bullets, and a mysterious teenage girl who rode to their rescue at just the right moment. Peter Carlson, author of the critically acclaimed K Blows Top, has, in Junius and Albert's Adventures in the Confederacy, written a gripping story about the lifesaving power of friendship and a surreal voyage through the bloody battlefields, dark prisons, and cold mountains of the Civil War.

Download or read book Kelsey s Adventure written by Ellen Irene Dawson and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kelsey Lawton, a preacher's daughter, had listened to her grandfather, John K. Lawton, and his friends talk about the Lost Lake legend since she was a very young girl. The men often sat around the Lawton's kitchen table discussing the legend, which they had heard about from their parents, who in turn, had heard about it from their parents. As it was told, a group of people from below the Canadian border traveled in covered wagons from Minnesota into Northern Ontario where they settled on the banks of an uncharted lake somewhere north of Mill Bay, the Ontario community where Kelsey made her home. Intrigued by what she had heard, Kelsey often wondered if she would ever be able to see this mystery lake for herself. Believing the Lost Lake really existed and wasn't just a legend, Kelsey secretly collected clues that she hoped would eventually lead her to this lake, which, as her grandfather told it, was "a fur piece north" of Mill Bay. A nature photographer who used her skills to paint a picture of God's wonderful creation, Kelsey worked at Crag's Camera's alongside handsome Brett Conroy. Brett, who is studying to be a forest ranger, had been watching Kelsey for most of the three years they had been working together, wondering what it was that made her seem to be so happy all the time. When Brett, who had just recently begun attending the local Baptist church where Kelsey's father is the pastor, finally gets the courage to invite Kelsey to the annual church picnic, both of their lives are changed forever.
