Witches and Rebels: Two Novellas from Pennsylvania History

Northern rebellion during the Civil War... Hex and murder in the Depression. Confederacy In Blue: When Elias kills a bounty hunter, he touches off a chain of events which leads the Union Army to his and his neighbors' doors. Meanwhile, President Lincoln and Governor Curtin of Pennsylvania attempt to put down what they see as a Confederate rebellion in the sleepy Fishing Creek Valley during the last year of the Civil War. 150 years later, a historian tries to cope with his feelings as the people of the Valley celebrate their uprising. In a reflection of the Valley's attitude toward Lincoln back then, an out of work veteran expresses his hatred for the president-a sentiment that threatens to turn violent. Season of the Witch: John Blymire knows why he has lost his powers to heal: a witch has hexed him. Now he must challenge the formidable Nelson Rehmeyer and reclaim his powers. York, Pennsylvania's most famous legend is retold by a disillusioned native son-a man who is trying to restore his own imaginative powers through recasting this tale of betrayal, blackmail, and murder.
