<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Takes place in northeast Texas in the fall of 1863 when a 15 year old boy is drafted into the desperate Confederate Army in place of his father who is dying and follows him and the friend he made while in the Army in their attempt to hold their land after being discharged.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>As the Civil War draws to a close, the desperate Confederate army drafts fifteen-year-old Art Logging in place of his dying father. Sulphur River follows Art and his friend Darrell Stroud through their service in the Red River campaign and into their journey to make men of themselves. Art's keen eye for business opportunities in the midst of a crumbling nation and Darrell's resourceful support could set both boys up for a comfortable life in Northeast Texas. If only it were that simple.</p><p>Art and Darrell aren't the only ones looking to take advantage of chaos in the South in the mid-1860's. They must navigate their cotton, cattle and horses around Confederate deserters, a crooked lawyer, and their own passions to reach the markets where they are most likely to make a profit. The boys find natural allies among neighboring farmers and a few unnatural allies in escaped slaves, Indians and even Union soldiers.</p><p>Author Art Anthony has loaded Sulphur River with research into the history, culture and economics of the eastern edge of the Old West. Those interested in Civil War history or Pioneer stories will especially appreciate the adventures of Art Logging.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>SULPHUR RIVER RETURN TO SULPHUR RIVER TOO MANY RIVERS TO CROSS ALL THESE WESTERN NOVELS WON FIRST PLACE WITH TEXAS AUTHORS ASSOC.
