About this ebook
1861: While visiting family friends in Savannah, Luke fell in love with a girl named Julia Branch. Chester Baker, a local young man about town, was a bitter rival for her time and attention. Unfortunately for Luke, her banker father rejected him; it seems Luke's family back in upstate New York wasn't wealthy enough. Then the war started.
December 1864: Sherman's army is camped outside Savannah and Luke is back. He was crippled at Kennesaw Mountain, but is a Yankee spy and has been tasked with gaining information about Fort McAllister which is Sherman's next target. Chester lost a leg assaulting the Water Witch and is now a bartender in a broken down saloon in a blockaded cotton port named Coffee Bluff.

I've been a service station attendant, steel building erector, combat helicopter pilot (1,200 hours in Viet Nam) instructor pilot in airplanes and helicopters, ambulance helicopter pilot, and most recently a corporate pilot with approximately 200 North Atlantic crossings. I started writing 12 years ago while at my job. Well, I didn't write books in the cockpit, but while traveling to my airplane on the airlines and while sitting in hotel rooms on standby. You might find my job description interesting; I worked seven days on and seven days off. Day one normally was devoted to traveling on the airlines to my airplane and meeting my crew (First Officer and Flight Attendant). We would fly our airplane anywhere in the world for five days, and on day seven would leave our Gulfstream where-ever it happened to be and airline to our homes for our seven days off. It was the best job in the world, and I had plenty of forced isolation time to write.

In 2004, during remodeling of a servant's quarters/carriage house behind a mansion on Chippewa square, a hand written journal was discovered in the attic. Although many pages had been ripped out and much of it was illegible because of water damage, here is the story that emerged:
Excerpts from Luke's Journal
April 13th, 1861, Savannah, Georgia: The Winstons were invited to join the Branch family in celebrating their daughter's sixteenth birthday. Being a guest of the Winstons and having nowhere else to go I tagged along. Julia captured my attention immediately. I was able to convince her to take a ride around Forsyth Park with me in a rented carriage tomorrow.
April 14th, 1861: I might have blamed my infatuation on the weather, for it was perfect. But it wasn't the weather; I wouldn't have noticed if it was raining. I cannot describe a single event
