The Survivor – The Story of the Texas Captain - Book I
One autumn afternoon in 1911 on a front porch in Texas, an elderly cattleman begins to reflect on his past and the war that shaped America…
In the autumn of 1861, the three Wade brothers—a farmer, a teacher, and a student—find themselves swept up in the horrific turmoil between the North and South.
Beginning with their baptism under fire at the at the Battle of Elkhorn Tavern in Arkansas to the bloody and brutal Battle of Corinth in Mississippi, the Wade brothers have morphed from brothers by blood to brothers in arms.
As the nation tragically tears itself asunder, Henry Wade and his brothers find themselves battling a foreign—yet familiar—foe.
In book one of The Texas Captain Trilogy, we see Henry Wade transform into an efficient fighter, a cunning cavalry scout, and a natural leader of Company B.
Based on true events, author Mark Wade brings to life the story of his ancestor, The Texas Captain.
