Bloodstains, An Epic History of the Politics that Produced and Sustained the American Civil War and the Political Reconstruction that Followed, Set of 4 Volumes
Howard Ray White, age 74 years, is a passionate student of history, especially of political history, especially of the southern States and their people, going back to the days of the Native Americans. His primary project, consuming up to 25 years, has been the research and writing that resulted in the 4 volumes of Bloodstains. White is of the southern States culture, born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee and graduated there from Vanderbilt University with a degree in chemical engineering.  White has never taught in a college or university. He is certainly not a history professor or "academic." But when it comes to telling history in an engaging style, with passion and human feelings, he knows his stuff. His background in science and engineering has taught him to search for the truth without any concern about being "politically correct." That firm foundation in science and truth protects him and you from being deceived by historians who have written with an "agenda." White has been married for 53 years to his sweetheart, also of Nashville. They have two grown children and two grandchildren. The author and his wife live in Charlotte, North Carolina.
