Beschreibung

In "Kathie's Soldiers," Amanda M. Douglas masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the intersecting lives of women and soldiers during the tumultuous backdrop of the American Civil War. Through a poignant blend of character-driven storytelling and vivid historical detail, Douglas illuminates the sacrifices and resilience of women left behind as the men head to battle. The novel employs a rich, descriptive literary style, reminiscent of 19th-century sentimental fiction, yet it also provides a critical lens through which to examine gender roles and societal expectations during this period of upheaval. Amanda M. Douglas, a pioneer of women'Äôs literature in the late 19th century, wrote extensively on themes of femininity and family dynamics. Her own experiences as a mother and her understanding of the societal constraints placed on women likely informed her compelling portrayals in "Kathie's Soldiers." Douglas's background as a prominent author in the literary circles of her time underscores her dedication to front-line narratives that highlight women's challenges and strengths amid adversity. This compelling work is a must-read for those interested in historical fiction that emphasizes the often-overlooked perspectives of women during wartime. With its nuanced characters and gripping plot, "Kathie's Soldiers" not only captivates readers but also provokes thoughtful reflection on the impact of war on everyday life and the enduring spirit of those who stay behind.

    Wyoming Territory, 1873. Tim Colter and his trusted guide, mountain man Jed Reno, are on the trail of a vicious gang of train robbers when they happen upon a bloody and shocking scene.

Dugan . . . trust nobody." 
     
     
     
    It's a message that chills Colter and Reno to the bone. President Ulysses S. Grant is scheduled to arrive soon in Cheyenne. Dugan is a former Confederate guerilla who leads a notorious gang of cutthroats. And the agent's last words—"trust nobody"—suggest this conspiracy could reach to the highest levels of American power.

But to get there, they'll have to bust a lady outlaw out of prison then convince her to take them to Dugan's hideout—with a lunatic killer on their tail and the president on a collision course with death . . .
