The Silent Cannons - After the Civil War by Mike Flinn Signed Copy

Description: Robert Chambers is a man without a past. Suffering from amnesia after surviving the Confederate prison at Andersonville, he spends years in an asylum in Georgia. He is finally released from the asylum but has not recovered from the amnesia and spends the next years searching for his past. Meanwhile, his younger brother, Christopher, takes a different path in life and finds himself in the wild Kansas frontier. In this follow-up to “A Soldier's Bounty” the story of the Chambers brothers is continued through the turbulent post Civil War period.The author follows many of the same characters from "A Soldier's Bounty," after the Civil War, learning what became of them--especially Robert, who survived Andersonville but suffered a leg amputation and was sent to an asylum because of amnesia. You learn a little about medicine back then, early invention of an artificial leg, the only person executed for war crimes after the Civil War, the Chicago fire, gangs, and the Kansas State Penitentiary--while Robert falls in love and eventually learns about his past and reunites with family.Really enjoyed this book. Could not sleep one night, so I got up, started reading the book, and stayed up for two hours reading it. A good continuation of his story in "A Soldier's Bounty".
