Sultana: The Last Road Home: The Titanic of the Mississippi (The Sultana Series: Stories of America's Civil War and America's Worst Maritime Disaster Book 1)

From the first shots of the Civil War to its final tragedy on the Mississippi River.

Brody Mallory rides with General Ulysses S. Grant from the earliest days of the war. He boards the transports at Belmont, fights through the bitter cold at Fort Donelson, and carries dispatches for Grant during the desperate struggle at Shiloh.

The war carries him farther south—to Chattanooga, to the siege of Vicksburg, and eventually east with Sherman’s March to the Sea, where the Confederacy begins to crumble.

After four years of war, when peace finally arrives, Mallory receives one final assignment.

He is ordered to escort newly released Union prisoners—men starved and broken by Andersonville and other Confederate prison camps—north toward home.

Their journey begins at Vicksburg aboard a Mississippi River steamboat called the Sultana.

The war may be over.

But the river has one last reckoning waiting.

Based on real events, The Last Road Home is a sweeping work of historical fiction that follows one soldier’s journey across the hardest campaigns of the Civil War—culminating in the deadliest maritime disaster in American history.

For readers of Cold Mountain, The Things They Carried, and historical epics grounded in human truth.
