Publisher's Synopsis
Here are the exciting stories of three Confederate men: one who attempted to extend the Confederacy to the Pacific; one who risked his life as a spy; and one who mysteriously did not extend support to the Confederate cause. Edwin Coon walked or rode on horseback over 8,000 miles in the little-discussed New Mexico Campaign. If not for a thunderstorm, his descendants would not be here to tell his story. Then he was captured in the swamps of Louisiana. Did he make it home after the war? Jefferson Boyett was a spy for the Confederacy. Was he shot during one of his missions? John Meals in Alabama supported the Union to the tune of over $4,300 worth of horses and food. Why did he choose to seemingly do nothing for the Confederacy? Read the thrilling answers in this book! (This book contains some stories reprinted from the following books: "On Both Sides" and "Fallen Sons," with a few minor changes.)
