Bøger af Troy D. Smith

"To some he was a brutal thug, a heartless murderer - a monster. To others he was a protector, a beloved martyr to the Confederate cause - a hero. To a few he was a family man, a good old boy caught up in passions beyond his control - a man.He was all these things, and more. He was an American tragedy. He was Champ Ferguson." Troy "Troy Smith is a superb writer. The life of Champ Ferguson is a powerful story. Put the two together and you have a wonderful read. I highly recommend Good Rebel Soil." Frank Roderus

"Freedom is not a place you run to...Freedom is a place in your soul." These words sum up the life long quest of ex-slave Alfred Mann as he pursues the dream of equality in a world not of his making. From fugitive to Medal of Honor winner, Mann carries on to rise above the ignorance and intolerance of those who seek to bring him down; somehow gaining strength from the unimaginable losses he suffers and his own self-doubt. Troy Smith does a great job of telling this man's story; providing a real insight not only to the emotional struggle that made Alfred Mann the individual he was, but the era that forged his heroic character. - Kit Prate 2001 WWA Spur Award Winner for Best Original Paperback
