The Lost Story, The Civil War Diaries of a Country Gentleman - Nicholas Peel

The Lost Story is the tale of the civil war that has never yet been told. Fortunatus Purkett's journals answer some of the unsolved mysteries that historians have never unearthed; their story was lost! Now read how our hero fought the mighty Mississippi to smuggle cotton to New Orleans, find out how 'Stonewall' Jackson really got his name and what Abner Doubleday really thought about baseball. Why was a sinister Union spycatcher dogging his every footstep and a Confederate cavalry officer pursuing his daughter? These and many other exciting and even humorous episodes enliven every page of Fortunatus' off-beat voyage through the Civil War and its battles, both civilian and military, until at last in a stunning climax during the battle of Gettysburg, all is resolved.
