When Gauley Ran Blood

"...we intended to cross Hughes Ferry if Gauley ran blood," said Union General Rosecrans as he pursued Confederate General Floyd following the Civil War battle of Carnifex Ferry. The opening skirmish the day of that battle was upstream at Hughes Ferry, located on the rugged Gauley River in the mountains of western Virginia. The waves of war had begun to crash through the tranquil river valley. Lives were changed. Family, friends and foes were getting caught up in the raging torrent, as clashing armies inundated the idyllic setting. It was war!   Life in a border county and state during the Civil War placed the Hughes family in extreme circumstances where choices involved life or death. The serene family farm and ferry became pawns in the hands of generals, future presidents, warring armies and bushwhackers. It was a time when men shed their blood protecting their homeland. Faith, family, fighting and fortune are explored in this fast moving historical novel. The people were real. The geography is real. The war was real. Let yourself slip away into the past and enter this world of revolution, sacrifice and romance. An adventure awaits you.      Written by Rock Foster.       281 pages.
