Independently Published Jonah: From Jaws of Great Fish Comes the Last Confederate (Impossible Journeys)

SOMETHING'S DIFFERENT ABOUT JONAH Other Civil War re-enactors thought all along there was something different about Jonah the way he corrected the placement of a line of Confederate riflemen, the way he took apart and reassembled an old cannon with ease, the way he walked over the battlefield like he'd been there before. Their suspicions were confirmed when he started firing live ammo into the Yankee lines. Find out if there are any additional casualties at the Battle of Brice's Crossroads more than 150 years after the last shots were fired. WHERE DID HE COME FROM? In the deepest mud at the bottom of the Tennessee River a great fish stirs. Awakened by a heat wave, worst since the Civil War, it moves toward the surface, starved for water richer in oxygen. Grayish-green from nose to tail, the mysterious fish crawls up on the bank and yawns and from its massive jaws comes the last Confederate, a man of honor in a dishonorable world. Naked and afraid, Jonah isn't too happy with what he finds but he doesn't mind setting a few things straight - if he can. General Wheeler has taught him well and he wouldn't want to disappoint the general or his daughter - the woman he loves, his darling Evangeline. A man with a mission, Jonah's back in uniform - one borrowed on a clandestine visit to the Wheeler museum along with a sword and pistol - and he's ready to ride. VIEWS OF AN HONORABLE MAN TRAPPED IN A DISHONORABLE WORLD Jonah on smart phones: "I can't imagine what's in those little glass bricks that's so interesting people want to peer into them all day." Jonah on NFL players protesting: "Why are those slaves kneeling like that? Are they waiting to be punished? They're wearing gold chains so they must have rich masters." Jonah on Black Lives Matter: "Don't all lives matter? I thought we learned that at Shiloh." Jonah learns more about the Black Lives Matter movement when he helps and befriends Bud Knight, a black man beaten and wounded at a rally around the Emma Sansom statue in Gadsden, Alabama. Jonah on generals Wheeler and Forrest: "Their men would follow them inside the gates of hell to do battle with the devil himself but those two never did get along - too much jealousy." Jonah on the Rebel yell: "It can't be bought, sold or imitated. When it comes time to ride out from the trees onto the battlefield and you don't know whether you're going to live or die, it comes from somewhere deep within the heart of any man born south of the Mason-Dixon line." Jonah on Civil War letters: "We wrote them to our ladies right before battle to let them know we love them and we shed tears only moments before we shed blood." Jonah on honor: "A man of honor is an army of one." READY TO MOUNT UP? Jonah invites you to ride with him: "I'm ready to ride. How about you? Come along, if you'd like. But time's a-wasting. I ain't got all day." Read all about him with just one click.
