CLARKESVILLE, Tenn. - 
(NewMediaWire) - May 28, 2014 - John Lanham’s first book “Seventy-seven Years in Dixie” is a
detailed trek into the Civil War era of the U.S.
New book “Seventy-seven Years in Dixie” from Page Publishing author John Lanham is a powerful reminder of the conflict which almost tore the USA in two and forced millions of families to face the horrors and hardships of war.
John Lanham, a historian and proud son of the south, has completed his first book “Seventy-seven Years in Dixie”: a detailed and vibrant window into a time when the actions of brave men determined the fate of an entire nation.
Describing his inspiration Lanham says: “We should never forget the horrors of war, the scars that last for lifetimes, and the echoes of the past that linger today and still shape our thoughts and actions. The civil war was a series of hellish encounters for those brave men who faced the trials of battle. We must always remember their sacrifices.”
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, John Lanham’s visceral words evoke the passion and the determination of proud soldiers from generations passed.
“Seventy-seven Years in Dixie: The Boys in Gray of 61-65” by H.W. Reddick is a poetic, sweeping epic chronicling one young man's experience fighting the Yankees in the American Civil War. Following him through battles and time spent as a prisoner of war, we experience alongside him aching hunger, terror before battle and the humanizing moments that come when, stuck alongside brothers, young soldiers see what makes each of us human.
Complete with a series of poems celebrating the heroism of those who fought the war that split the States, we celebrate moments of triumph-- a taste of buttermilk after days of hunger, new shoes in winter and a night's sleep indoors. A testament to those who've fought for our freedoms, “Seventy-Seven Years” is as much an adventure as it is a reminder of our nation's powerful history.
Readers who wish to experience this epic work can purchase “Seventy-seven Years in Dixie” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.
