Book Five of the Back Rooms That Shaped America. From February 1861 to May 1865, Richmond's war is shaped as much by corridors as by cannons, with The Spotswood Hotel as the city's nerve center. Behind its parlor doors and service stairs, soldiers, clerks, couriers, and fixers trade in the true currency of a besieged capital: keys, passes, introductions, and silence. As Jefferson Davis and Alexander H. Stephens strain against scarcity and politics, and Robert E. Lee carries the city's defense like a private weight, the hotel quietly sorts who gets heard, who gets fed, who gets moved, and who gets erased. Public speeches happen outside. Inside, survival is negotiated room by room.

Hamele, Scott: - SCOTT HAMELE was born and raised in Kansas and has called the Kansas City area home since 1991. Married for more than thirty years, he treasures time with his two daughters and two grandchildren. Scott studied engineering at the University of Kansas, where he began writing articles and newsletters for university clubs. He was first published in an ASME engineering publication in 1992 and went on to author dozens of published articles in the commercial construction sector. In the 2000s, Hamele turned his research instincts toward historical fiction, developing more than a dozen story concepts-many of which have matured into his recent publishing journey. His work spans a wide range of genres, including historical fiction, near-future thrillers, narrative biographies, and feel-good short stories. A prolific storyteller, Scott has more than two dozen works to his credit. https: //linktree.com/scotthamele
