Midwest Book Review of Rebel Bulldog


Critique: Rebel Bulldog is the true-life, Civil War era story of an Indiana man who swore allegiance to the confederacy, battled as a Rebel, and returned to the North after the close of the Civil War. Expertly researched and engagingly presented, Rebel Bulldog is a fascinating glimpse into a chaotic era of American history, and a choice pick for public library Civil War collections. It should be noted for personal reading lists that Rebel Bulldog is also available in a Kindle edition ($19.95).
