A Classic American Civil War Story! Written by a Kindle Best Selling Author!
Live the Life of the Jenkins Dynasty of 1800s Baltimore, listen in as they discuss their business ambitions and political perspectives...And the Colburn family of Vermont, their fashions, their lifestyle...All of these revealing facets of everyday life are included in this exciting 5-Star novel!
Losses, loves, and loyalties play on the reader's imagination as Ms. Hill sets the domestic scene of this Well-Known Belvedere District Family.
Beginning in 1820s Baltimore, Maryland, as main character C.T. Jenkins leaves home to become a young rifleman. 'Jenkins: Confederate Blockade Runner' takes the reader on one of the fateful rides of Newburne's Company of Mounted Rifles, the historically documented tale continues through the settler-era of Fair Haven, Vermont.
As the drum beats of the Civil War beat louder the reader listens in on The South versus The North debates that took place in a Gentleman's Reading Rooms - one of many gathering places that were off limits to women. 'Jenkins: Confederate Blockade Runner' comes to a crashing climax along the beautiful Gulf Coast, ultimately ravaged by the Civil War, as the hero is captured by Lincoln's troops. His fate unfolds in Boston's Fort Warren prison as he makes every attempt to untangle the decisions that led to his imprisonment.
Inspired by the photograph album of family pictures that occupied Colonel C.T. Jenkins' attention during his incarceration as a convicted blockade runner, author Emily Hill, current caretaker of that album, weaves a drama that is receiving high praise from writer's conferences, Florida historians, and historical fiction enthusiasts.
Historically true to the facts, emotionally true to the past.
