Book Description

When Texas votes to secede and joins the Confederacy in 1861, Texans on both sides of the issue find their lives changed forever. Undercurrents of Secession tear at the fabric of a tiny town near the banks of the Brazos River. The majority of the men in Bold Springs join up to defend the South from Yankee intrusion.
