Rebel Bayou

"Ready Wright lived in a region of the Gulf South that arguably endured the most chaotic pattern of development found anywhere in America. Multiple national overlords, popular uprisings, war, and fierce nightriders all contributed to a state of chronic instability among a people desperate for peace and a semblance of community unity. Ready's home territory along the Pearl River straddling Louisiana and Mississippi included one bright spot, Mollie Stansbury, whom Ready described as the "most beautiful woman he had ever seen." From New Orleans to Mobile, and on to Pensacola, the challenges of life in the post-Civil War Gulf South, replete with voodoo and other peculiarities distinctive to the region, play out in dramatic fashion as Ready and Mollie confront a world of risk in an effort to find elusive peace. Historical fact and fiction merge in (Rebel Bayou) to create an exciting story of hardship and hope certain to both entertain and educate!"--
