Confederate Raid Book Special – Bold Strikes Behind Enemy Lines

War is not only fought on the battlefield—it’s carried deep into enemy territory by daring men willing to risk everything.

This exciting two-book combo brings to life two of the most audacious Confederate raids of the War Between the States—operations that stunned the North, captured headlines, and proved that the reach of Southern arms extended far beyond the front lines.

Morgan’s Great Raid by David L. Mowery tells the gripping story of General John Hunt Morgan’s legendary 1863 cavalry raid into Indiana and Ohio. In a campaign marked by speed, surprise, and sheer nerve, Morgan and his riders tore through Northern territory, disrupting supply lines, spreading alarm, and leaving a trail that Union forces struggled to contain. Mowery’s account is fast-paced and richly detailed, drawing on firsthand sources to paint a vivid picture of the raid’s movements, its hardships, and its ultimate fate. It’s a story of bold leadership, endurance, and one of the most talked-about cavalry exploits of the war.

Paired with it is The St. Albans Raid by Michelle Arnosky Sherburne, the fascinating account of a lesser-known but equally dramatic operation—this time striking from the shadows. In October 1864, a small band of Confederate agents launched a surprise raid from Canada into St. Albans, Vermont, robbing banks, attempting to burn the town, and then escaping back across the border. Sherburne unpacks the intrigue, the planning, and the international fallout that followed, revealing a story filled with espionage, controversy, and the blurred lines of wartime strategy.

Together, these two books showcase the daring, ingenuity, and far-reaching impact of Confederate raids—one a sweeping cavalry incursion across multiple states, the other a covert strike that rattled the Northern home front.
