A farmer by the name of Joshua Quark volunteered to join the Union Army shortly after the Confederate gunners seized Fort Sumter. That man was real, and the book's author assumed the identity of Mr. Quark during the decade that he was himself a Civil War re-enactor. The book follows Quark's imagined pre-war life, his three years of service with the Indiana 15th Infantry and his return to civilian status. The book also is a murder mystery based upon the killing of a thoroughly disliked sergeant.
Mr. Levy has previously published 19 books, the first seventeen of which were of a legal nature. He retired in 2012 and then began writing books of fiction. His first such work was published in 2013 and was entitled, I Don't Believe My Lying Eyes - The Tsunami. It dealt with the death of one man who perished in the December 26, 2004 tsunami that destroyed a resort on the coast of Thailand. The next book was entitled Mediation War Stories - The Underbelly of Litigation, and was published in 2014. The theme dealt with a series of mediation conferences based loosely on actual conflicts between individuals and organizations.
