Hearts Divided
Arriving in St. Louis to search for his missing brother, Danny O’Lee meets a lovely but mysterious young girl named Liberty Wells who has known his brother and perhaps been his lover before they were parted by the bitter slavery question. Danny is led to Quantrill and his guerrillas, among them Frank and Jesse James, who are ravaging anti-slavery Kansas. Next, he meets and is converted to the Union cause by a beautiful black abolitionist.
Finally, after having his hairbreadth adventures, Danny O’Lee finds his beloved brother—fighting on the other side—at the bloody Battle of Shiloh, a turning point in the little known Civil War in the West.
There, a hero is born, a villain unmasked and a loved is renewed, while the Union finds a general in an obscure, cigar-smoking, whiskey-drinking sphinx of a man names U.S. Grant.

One of the best of Vaughan's
Vaughan has a happy habit, like lamour, of reusing descriptions of bars, escapes, and other things. This book doesn't have that problem. It presents believable characters and historically accurate scenes of battles. Look up American Battlefield Trust on YouTube and chose Shiloh.

Another great read.
What more can I say about Mr. Vaughan that I haven’ t said before? Great action, fine story and well rounded characters. From now on I will just say “ditto”. Never mind the 20 words.

Different Look at Shiloh
I still don’t understand why Robert Vaughan is adding in all the sexual scenes. These stories are sufficient enough without them. He keeps them suspenseful, adventurous, and mysterious enough yet he drags them down morally because he adds in ungodliness.

A Great Read
The war goes on; history continues to proceed. Some people survive, and many die. This story shows a fresh tale of the war we have all heard something of.
