Mountain Green

The book may be sampled at Smashwords.com by clicking the title link above. In October of 1864 a troop of Confederate cavalry infiltrated St Albans, Vermont: twelve miles south of Canada, six hundred miles north of the the Civil War battle lines. With noise and fire they declared the town in the possession of the Confederacy, adding, "We have come... to give you Yankees a taste of General Sherman's idea of war."
