Junius and Albert's Adventures in the Confederacy [Libby eBook] : A Civil War Odyssey. PublicAffairs, 2013. Format: OverDrive Adobe EPUB eBook, Filesize: 912kB. Format: OverDrive OverDrive Read. HTML:Junius Browne and Albert Richardson covered the Civil War for the New York Tribune until Confederates captured them as they tried to sneak past Vicksburg on a hay barge. Shuffled from one Rebel prison to another, they escaped and trekked across the snow-covered Appalachians with the help of slaves and pro-Union bushwhackers. Their amazing, long-forgotten odyssey is one of the great escape stories in American history, packed with drama, courage, horrors and heroics, plus moments of antic comedy.<br /> <br /> On their long, strange adventure, Junius and Albert encountered an astonishing variety of American characters—Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant, Rebel con men and Union spies, a Confederate pirate-turned-playwright, a sadistic hangman nicknamed “the Anti-Christ,” a secret society called the Heroes of America, a Union guerrilla convinced that God protected him from Confederate bullets, and a mysterious teenage girl who rode to their rescue at just the right moment.<br /> <br /> Peter Carlson, author of the critically acclaimed <i>K Blows Top</i>, has, in <i>Junius and Albert’s Adventures in the Confederacy</i>, written a gripping story about the lifesaving power of friendship and a surreal voyage through the bloody battlefields, dark prisons, and cold mountains of the Civil War.
