Divided We Stood - Paperback

The American Civil War had reached a critical turning point, and neither side was backing down. Robert E. Lee decided to divide his armies - and in doing so, changed the tides of the war. The tale of the legendary lost dispatch, or Lost Order 191 is given new life in the story of Tad Dwyer - a courier in the Confederate army who, in this story, is entrusted with the delivery of General Lee's dispatch. In Dr. John F. Crosby's "What if?" retelling of the American Civil War, we hear a more intimate side to the legend, as we get to experience the personal struggle of Tad - whose decisions change the course of history, and follow him for the rest of his life. Dr. John F. Crosby is a retired professor of Marriage and Family Therapy, and author of nine publications including Sons and Fathers: Challenges to paternal authority published with Routledge Press, 2013, and The Selfhood of the Human Person -The Catholic University of America Press, 1996. Crosby currently resides with his wife in Bloomington, Indiana.
