This is the detailed firsthand account of the Second Battle of Sabine Pass and a Union POW's journey after being captured there, as transcribed from his journal writings. Private Stephen H. Wright, a member of Company B in the New York 75th Infantry, was serving as a sharpshooter on the USS Clifton when it was forced to surrender to the Confederate Army at Sabine Pass. In great detail and usually with a sense of humor, Private Wright describes the marches and prison camps (Camp Groce and several temporary camps) along the way to an eventual prisoner exchange in Shreveport, Louisiana. Because of the insult from Confederate officers, the abuse hurled at them by townspeople, and the deplorable living conditions, men frequently tried to escape. Pvt. Wright notes some of the strategies used by would-be escapees, including: "An underground passage had been undertaken for some fifteen rods, to reach beyond the stockade, but our castle (not in the air) fell." In humorous adjacent passages, Private Wright remarks: "We are cautioned not to stray too far from camp as some of our friends might shoot us. This seemed to be the desire of the good people of the place. Christmas pass through Starville. This word should have been spelled with an "e" so we could have understood the meaning better, as the place looked as though it had experienced a famine." This is a fascinating and quick, easy read that gives a firsthand account of the Battle of Sabine Pass II and provides plenty of color into the mind of a Union POW.

After spending a year in the African village of Kiboyo, Adam Moxley ventures to another small village in the Ugandan bush. There, he assists a local pastor at a small orphanage,coming face to face with children dying of AIDS.Before heading back to the United States, Adam stops in Venice, where he meets up with his good friend Tom. While Tom and Adam enjoy the richness of Venice, Adam soon forgets about thetragedy in Uganda when he meets and falls in love with Jade, an American studying abroad.Adam's attention is quickly pulled back to the Ugandan orphans, however, when he learns that the children are being sold into slavery and child prostitution. Adam is shattered when hediscovers the one behind the exploitation, and he becomes determined to bring an end to the tragedy.Referencing the history behind Giambologna's 1574 sculpture The Capture of the Sabine Women, Kilgore's novel floats the reader down the waterways of Venice, leaving passion andjustice in its wake.Edited by Corene Israel

This “beautifully written . . . and meticulously researched” Civil War history vividly recounts one of the most decisive battles fought in Texas (Civil War News). Jefferson Davis once said the Battle of Sabine Pass was “more remarkable than the battle at Thermopylae.” But unlike the Spartans, who succumbed to overwhelming Persian forces at Thermopylae more than two thousand years before, the Confederate underdogs triumphed in a battle that over time has become steeped in hyperbole. Providing a meticulously researched, scholarly account of this remarkable victory, Sabine Pass at last separates the legends from the evidence. In arresting prose, Edward T. Cotham, Jr., recounts the momentous hours of September 8, 1863, during which a handful of Texans—almost all of Irish descent—under the leadership of Houston saloonkeeper Richard W. Dowling, prevented a Union military force of more than 5,000 men, twenty-two transport vessels, and four gunboats from occupying Sabine Pass, the starting place for a large invasion that would soon have given the Union control of Texas. Sabine Pass sheds new light on previously overlooked details, such as the design and construction of the fort that Dowling and his men defended, and includes the battle report prepared by Dowling himself. The result is a portrait of a mythic event that is even more provocative when stripped of embellishment.
