From In Union

As a museum, Canterbury Shaker Village stands today as a testament to what people who commit to something larger than themselves – to a life in union – can achieve. When you walk the stone pathways of the village, you walk in the steps of remarkable people. This is their story.

On Pliney Fiske

“This is a wonderful novel, alive in the moment, from the first scene to the last. It rings true, too, free of the cloying sentimentality that afflicts most of our Civil War memories. This is a gritty, real world that Travis unpacks, one filled with characters particular to this story, but also universal in their familiarity and dimension. I felt like I was there.”

On My Brave Boys

“The Civil War is crowded with often mediocre work. But every once in a while you pick up a book, hear a new voice, and both your heart and mind are moved. My Brave Boys is a story of glory and sadness, two authors, Mike Pride and Mark Travis, finding one voice, a rare, sparkling achievement.”

— Gabor Boritt, director, Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College
