Praise for Two-Time Spur Award Winner JIM R. WOOLARD “This novel is a detailed and fascinating account of the messy history of Missouri during the Civil War. It is also a genuinely historical coming-of-age novel minus the hyper-emotionalism and saccharine drama of that type. Filled with interesting and sometimes surprising characters, the book points out the good and evil on both sides without preaching. This is an outstanding and singular Civil War novel. Exceptionally well crafted.” —Historical Novel Society, EDITORS CHOICE for When the Missouri Ran Red “An impressive writer...good old-fashioned storytelling.” —Cameron Judd “The seminal early frontier stories of James Fenimore Cooper have found a serious rival at last.” —Loren D. Estleman “Jim R. Woolard has done it again...A 'must read' for every historical fiction fan.” —Ellen Recknor “Woolard knows how to tell a damn good story.” —Terry C. Johnston “If you are looking for a coming-of-age tale set during the Civil war, this book will satisfy that desire.” —Historical Novels Review on Raiding with Morgan “This well-researched story of a sliver of Civil War history known as Morgan’s Raid will interest historical fiction fans, especially Civil War buffs. With the young male protagonist, the book could cross over to young adult readers.” —Library Journal on Raiding with Morgan “This novel is a detailed and fascinating account of the messy history of Missouri during the Civil War.
