Description:CIVIL WAR NOVEL SEES CONFLICT THROUGH NEW EYES First-time novelist George WB Scott debuts a novel that offers a thrilling glimpse of Civil War Charleston through the eyes of a newcomer from Boston.Readers join the main character of "I Jonathan, A Charleston Tale of the Rebellion" on his journey as a young man, marooned in a strange city just as the Civil War begins. His relationships with working men and women, slaves, merchants, planters, spies, inventors, soldiers, sweethearts and musicians tell the story of a dynamic culture undergoing its greatest challenge. Scott’s novel shows the arguments and trials of a wealthy cosmopolitan community preparing to fight a nation superior in manpower and arms."I wanted to tell a personal story built on the framework of history," says Scott, "and the real story is Charleston's challenges and experience in the war.“The book is pro-South, but not pro-Confederate. It's anti-war and anti-slavery. I wanted to go beyond stock characters and themes. I hope this encourages readers to reflect on a people who lived through a fundamental change of their society."Scott, a video producer in Knoxville, Tenn., has visited Charleston and the Low Country many times. He has studied in detail its local culture, food, social relations, African American and Jewish history of the area, music of the period, and even his own ancestry. Story themes include free Blacks and slaves, arguments for and against the war, and emigrant communities of Germans and Irish in the city.Jonathan's adventures include witnessing the bombardment of Fort Sumter, the last great Charleston horse race, the Great Charleston Fire of 1861, the Battle of Secessionville and visits to the North Carolina mountain homes of wealthy Low Country planters. He even has an encounter with a Voo-Doo conjure man. He makes a run through the Federal Blockade and visits the raucous boomtowns of Nassau and Wilmington. The author describes battles of ironclads and monitors, and the Battle of Battery Wagner (made famous in the movie "Glory"). Jonathan’s story documents the hopes and struggles of a young man making a new life in a strange land in times of war and change.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
