Shelby's Expedition to Mexico

An Unwritten Leaf of the War

By: John N. Edwards

Confederate general Joseph O. Shelby and his legendary Iron Brigade refused to acknowledge the end of the Civil War. Instead, they fought their way to Mexico in search of a place where they could continue to defy the U.S. government. These veteran Missouri cavalrymen clawed their way for fifteen hundred miles, fighting Juaristas, Indians, desperados, and disgruntled gringos. They disbanded only after they had offered their services to Emperor Maximilian and were turned down. Shelby's adjutant, journalist John N. Edwards, first published his story of the exploits of this superb mounted brigade and its quixotic final march in 1872. Conger Beasley provides a lively introduction that includes the first biographical sketch of the author. The 1969 movie The Undefeated starring John Wayne and Rock Hudson was based upon Shelby's expedition.

Souls Along the Road

Villains, Saints and Killer Cuisine

By: John Drake Robinson

John Robinson's "Road Trip" series is long overdue for a new release. Finally, here it is. Filled with political satire, signs of our times, good country food, and extraneous humor, John has exceeded his previous work with fresh stories of oddities and history, human failings and triumph. Who would ever guess that "the flyover state" had this much to offer?
