About the Author

Author, professor, Beethoven scholar.

About the editor: Neo-Victorian scholar Lochlainn Seabrook is one of the most prolific and popular writers in the world today. Known by literary critics as the "American Robert Graves" and the "new Shelby Foote" and by his fans as the "Voice of the Traditional South," he is a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal and the author and editor of nearly 100 scholarly books. Also a multi-instrumentalist and a classical composer of symphonies, string quartets, concertos, and choral music, his voluminous literary work has introduced hundreds of thousands to the truths left out of our mainstream history books. A 7th generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage and the 6th great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, Colonel Seabrook has a 45 year background in American and Southern history, and is the author of the international blockbuster "Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!"
