Currently in Research & Development
The American Civil War transformed a nation and the lives of countless ordinary men who answered the call to serve. Allegheny to Andersonville follows the journey of Pennsylvania soldiers from their homes in the Allegheny Valley through the hardships of military service and into one of the war's most infamous prison camps.
Drawing on military records, personal letters, diaries, newspapers, and firsthand accounts, this nonfiction work seeks to tell their stories with historical accuracy while honoring the courage, endurance, and sacrifice of those who lived through one of America's defining conflicts.
More than a history of battles, Allegheny to Andersonville is a story about the people behind the uniforms, their hopes, fears, friendships, and determination to survive.
Allegheny to Andersonville is currently in the research and writing stage. As the project develops, I'll be sharing historical discoveries, research notes, behind-the-scenes updates, and the writing process through Creative Chronicles.

History is rarely finished. New records are discovered, overlooked stories come to light, and fresh perspectives deepen our understanding of the past. This project will continue to evolve as new research is uncovered.
