About this title

Synopsis

Stanley Hartman has enough challenges to overcome growing up in southern Indiana in the 1850s. A stuttering problem and two older brothers who make fun of him make it even tougher. Then Stanley spends a year away from his family with his Aunt Clara, a teacher. The lessons Stanley learns from his aunt will serve him well as he faces the enormous challenges of fighting in the Civil War.

About the Author

Raised on a farm in rural Indiana, William W. Erwin was a 20-year-old member of the Army Air Corps in World War II. While in the Air Corps, he bought his first 80 acres of farmland with money he earned from 4-H projects. A lifelong farmer and public servant, Will was selected as one of four Outstanding Young Farmers in the United States in 1958. He served as a state senator in Indiana, the Assistant Secretary of Agriculture for the United States, an EPA environmental expert, and a noted public speaker. With a degree in agricultural economics from the University of Illinois, he also fed his passion for history through continuing education classes and reading numerous history books. A world traveler, he told countless stories to his grandchildren on the back roads of Europe. William is now sharing his storytelling gift in the form of his historical fiction books for readers of all ages.
