Fremantle Volume One

About this ebook
FREMANTLE is a historical novel set in 1863 at the height of the American Civil War. Due to the above average length it is in two volumes.
The main character, Arthur Fremantle, was a real British Coldstream Guards officer who came to America to observe the war.
The book is full of historical information, especially concerning the British involvement, but this is tempered by a heady romance, political intrigue, villainy, and a very different outcome from the real war.
It also contains the answer to why Britain and the European powers would not recognize The Confederate South.
There are battle maps and photographs of all the real participants in the great American struggle.
The book also has three never before published photographs of Fremantle and his wife.
A good read for serious Civil War students and fiction readers alike.

FREMANTLE was written after I had portrayed Lt. Col. Fremantle in civil war reenactments for ten years. I began to research his life and amassed a great deal of information, much of it published in the book. I enjoyed writing long before this, and have had a number of articles published, notably in yachting magazines—which is my great passion. For anyone interested in sailboats, I have a web site at www.schooner-britannia.com which catalogues the transition of a fifty foot ketch to a Brigantine schooner, along with many internal alterations, including a hot tub.
