Beschreibung

Civil War and life after with hardships and benefits to manage, Carlton Brisbane forges a legacy out of the chaos of three years on the battlefields and in the hospitals. Searching for a life away from battlefields and hospitals leads him to New Mexico Territory and California and Oregon. A battlefield Commission, tactics which some officers considered barbaric and compassion that was short lived for some medical providers molded Carlton to be the most feared and hated Union solder during the war. Giving his wisdom of battle tactics to other soldiers is both granted and denied by his superior officers. Winners of the battles were proclaimed by the smaller body count needing burial. Thousands died at each encounter. Carlton's number of wounds exceeded the amount allowed by the Union Army, leading to his discharge and his travels. His fame follows him and the band of men travelling with him and his awards are of such worth to preclude hiding and changing his identity. Circumstances will help in his search for anonymity or lead his pursuers to find him. Will Oregon be a distance too great for the revenge seekers? Will time give him the freedom he has sought so long?

Child of the Baby Boomers. Wanna be Hippie, just could not afford the counterculture of drugs, psychedelic music, psychedelic art and social permissiveness. I especially could not afford the flower covered van. The culture was alluring and rebellion of any form was espoused by hot blooded Americans and many of us followed in our own fashion, leading to social invitations to see the world given by some law enforcement type person. I became a Veteran of the beginning of the Viet Nam era.
I was a brilliant teenager which was both unknown and unappreciated by my superiors for three years two months and six days. I left the military with mixed emotions; joy and happiness.
My stomach was removed in 1980 and my life style changed. I became an over the road truck owner operator for more than thirty years. I have seen our country from a different view than most ever will and parts of our world few will ever see.
Writing since 1990, when I could. Love the way a good story flows. Hate the transitions in the middles when the flow stops. Labor with the how to and again write and edit and edit, to a point of satisfaction that I have tried. And I will try again with another book. A good idea makes a good story line and an enjoyable book.
It is my hope that my books are entertaining and enjoyable.
