This is the only book on that crucial military department. Over fifty battles waged in an attempt to destroy the Confederacy's only source of salt & lead. Crack Union troops under excellent generals like Crook, Stoneman, & Burbridge launched numerous attacks into the area. The Dixie boys manned the trenches & braved overwhelming odds. Southern generals like Breckinridge, Jackson, "Grumble" Jones, & "The Devil" Morgan struggled valiantly to maintain the critical war materials flow to General Lee. HUNTER'S FIERY RAID THROUGH VIRGINIA VALLEYS; 0-9617897-0-8; $32.95. This is the only accurate account of wicked General David "Black Dave" Hunter's campaign to destroy the Confederacy by stopping the flow of salt & lead through the Shenandoah, James, & Roanoke River Valleys. Hatred clouded Hunter's judgment as he reaped punishment on slave-holding Virginia. Towns were burned, looting & wanton destruction were commonplace. Staunton & Lexington (including V.M.I) were burned. Savage fighting raged around Lynchburg & through the Roanoke-Salem area. CIVIL WAR TALES; 0-9617898-1-6; $25.95. This is a delightful concoction of newly uncovered pure history, hilarious fables, heart wrenching stories, & just plain bull. Based on family stories. Learn interesting facts about Lee, Jackson, Ashby, & John Wilkes Booth. Laugh at a Yankee suitor's rejection, a peed on Southern soldier, terrifying yet comical encounters slaves had with dead persons & live Yankees, & a Reb "Still Holding the Line." Sad tales of cold blooded murder, neighbor against neighbor, burned towns & terrorized citizens, & a Confederate flag in WW II. Under a flavor of the times: women in action, a church that went to war, a ghost story, & vile atrocities. CIVIL WAR TALES, VOL. II; 0-9617898-2-4; $25.95 (even more of a good thing).

"Walker has done an outstanding job of explaining the Confederate war effort to protect this area of land and its vital resources. . . . It is the Confederate classic on this particular area of study." --Ed Porter, The Lone Star E-Newsletter During the Civil War, Southwest Virginia's resources were essential to the South's war effort, and its railroads were a lifeline to the rest of the Confederacy. The separation of West Virginia left the area vulnerable to invading Northern armies and led to continual invasions and battles. This area was vital in supplying salt to preserve Southern food and lead for Southern guns. Although Southwest Virginia originally voted to remain part of the Union, support for the developing Confederacy soon grew. Virginia elected to secede from the nation and greatly aided the South in the war. Walker presents a detailed account of the operations in Southwest Virginia. In gripping narrative, he relates the effects of the war on the individual soldier and the nation as a whole. Each major battle over the course of four grueling years is retold, and each strategic decision is examined so that the war itself turns into a human effort, an exhausting struggle to retain the lands in Southwest Virginia for the South. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Gary C. Walker has been a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans for more than thirty years and has been recognized by the State of South Carolina Legislature for his many accomplishments in Civil War history. Walker is a member of several historic and preservation groups and often participates in Civil War reenactments.

Many people believe that the Civil War was started by the Southern states because of slavery and the issue of secession. Here the author argues differently: Southerners believed that they would benefit from a different form of government than that of their Northern neighbors. Southerners, whose economy depended on agriculture, felt that the industrialized North passed laws and set taxes unfair to the South. In this history, Walker includes descriptions of daring raids, massive battles, and life-and-death struggles that changed one nation and destroyed another. In between are tales of the North's misdeeds, such as the massacre of more than 600 American Indians, the burning of Confederate hospitals, and Lincoln's imprisonment of more than 40,000 citizens who dared to oppose him.

"I am impressed with the author's research, and his ability to capture the times. I could smell the burning homes and feel the wrath of the civilians caught in the scorched-earth policy of Union general 'Black Dave' Hunter."--The Midwest Book Review Union general David Hunter redefined warfare in the South during the Civil War and helped make the War Between the States one of America's bloodiest conflicts in history. He was known throughout the Confederacy as "the Northern general all Southerners love to hate," and this was a title he earned to the fullest. Before Hunter's reign of terror, only railroad and industrial property were destroyed in wars. However, Hunter attacked civilian property and arrested both men and women without charge. Even Hunter's own soldiers feared his wrath and nicknamed him "Black Dave." Hunter's scorched-earth policy left Southern homes and towns in ruins, and his raid of the Virginia Valleys changed the course of the Civil War and America forever. This story of "Black Dave" explores the psychological motivations for Hunter's major decisions and analyzes his strategy as he traveled and burned much of the Virginia Valleys. With mastery and vivid detail, Walker brings Hunter's campaign to life-from the smell of the burning homes to the fear of the soldiers in battle. Hunter's Fiery Raid through Virginia Valleys is the only detailed and accurate account of David Hunter's savage assault on Confederate military forces and the Southern civilian population. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Gary C. Walker is the author of several Civil War books and is the only writer in the Commonwealth of Virginia to make his income writing about America's Civil War. He has been a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans for more than thirty years and has been recognized by the State of South Carolina Legislature for his many accomplishments in the Civil War field.
