Paperback. Condition: New. The Forty-Eighters of Possum Creek: A Texas Civil War Story is a departure for State House Press. This remarkable work of vintage historical fiction focuses on the life of one young man, Kuno Sartorius, who grows up and comes of age in a community of educated German immigrants during the waning months of the Civil War.

Kearney's notes help the reader navigate the story, and reveal the 'story behind the story.'.…
