Johnny Come Home

by Loren Humphrey

Over the rivers and streams, through the woods and brush…hear the not so distant sounds of horse tack creaking, orders given in Yankee and Rebel accents, the hurrahs of victory and the sobs of defeat…the lovely young men of America giving their lives and blood. Surprise information about the split over slavery…executions of the innocent and not so innocent civilian citizens. Dr. Humphrey brings this all to the reader now, reinforcing our links to the past, our links of humanity to the present and future. Though Johnny Come Home is fictional, it is remarkably authentic in its historical background and key information and facts surrounding the Civil War in Northeast Missouri…a story of people’s lives that brings to light details not previously published dealing with the gruesome issue of slavery.
