description: Prepare yourself for the past.… The year is 1861. America burns with the fires of war. Looking for honor, respect and a way out of sleepy Dublin, Ohio, Nolan Giles and his pard Brian Quinn enlist into the Union forces. Together they begin a journey that is both familiar and totally new, courageous and shocking. Prepare yourself for the truth. “Redemption is filled with more fact than fiction, but imbibed with more gritty, colorful and off-color life than any history I’ve ever read. The author has uncovered and created fascinating, terrifying and haunting daily occurrances in the lives of the Union (and Confederate) boys that first enlisted to ‘get a piece of the war before it was all over.’” — Richard Gant, The Midwest Book Review “Jeane Heimberger Candido’s quest for historically accurate details — not just names and numbers, but smell and feel — became apparent while I watched this sixty-six inch high author laboring to ram an obstinate minie ball down a forty-two inch long rifle-musket on a windy, cruelly raw afternoon.” — H.J. Popowski, Camp Chase Fifes &amp; Drums, former sergeant, 5th Kentucky (Louisville Legion), The Mudsills
