About the Author

Emily Hill is a Pacific Northwest writer with ties to the communities of The South's Gulf Coast.

A genealogist, she inherited the photograph album on which this authentic novel is based. The story of her Baltimore family - a product of both Union and Confederate sentiments - is told in this 320-page volume.

Included in this telling is the family's Union officers including A.V. Colburn, AAG to General George B. McClellan and her Confederate uncle, Cyprian T. (C.T.) Jenkins - a convicted Blockade Runner. A number of Baltimore Historic figures are also among Ms. Hill's ancestors, including James Ryder Randall.
