New Book Release from Fireship Press — "Cartledge Creek"
Born of contradiction, battered by bloody conflict, a young soldier desperately tries to find his way back home.
Tucson, AZ, May 27, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Jim Dockery was as unlikely soldier for the Confederate cause. His father, General Alfred Dockery, was Richmond County’s most prominent opponent of secession and most vocal advocate for black suffrage.
Yet, he was also the owner of the county’s grandest plantation with one of its largest concentrations of slaves. Though he opposed the war, General Dockery sent six sons to fight for the Confederacy. Jim, the youngest of Alfred’s soldier sons, follows a Civil War path that takes him through some of the war’s bloodiest conflicts, and into the North’s deadliest prisons.
He daily risks his life for a cause of which he is uncertain, his real cause being to one day get back home.
“Cartledge Creek is a fine piece of fiction. My highest praise for a story is ‘a good tale, well told.’ And that fits this book precisely.” - Robert Inman, Author of The Governor’s Lady, Home Fires Burning, Old Dogs and Children, and Dairy Queen Days
About the Author
Sam McGee is an author, trial lawyer and fisherman from North Carolina. His first book, Sidelines and Bloodlines, is a college football memoir written with his referee father and sportswriter brother.
Cartledge Creek is his debut novel, and is inspired by his family’s true Civil War story. As a teenager, Sam used to tell everyone who would listen that he would one day buy the old family homeplace back into the family.
He and his wife Marci did so in 2006. That house is the site of much of what happens in Cartledge Creek. Sam and Marci live in North Carolina with children Hannah Cole and Brooks, and cats Scout and Calpurnia.
