    About this ebook



    “The Destiny of Men,” is a true and moving account of the
    lives of two ordinary Americans at a time in America’s history, when ordinary
    men were called upon to do extraordinary deeds.  Louis Worcester, a Northern born Southerner and William Troup a
    youth from Pennsylvania were just two of the many who were called to arms by
    the cataclysmic events of the 1860’s. 
    The lives of these two patriots to their causes, forever changed that
    summer of 1861, when they began different; yet, parallel paths that would ultimately
    culminate on the fields of a southeastern Pennsylvania crossroads in the summer
    of 1863.



    Troubled by the horrors of war, these two men on different
    sides of a national crisis were determined to do their duty in spite of the
    potential cost to themselves and to their families.  Their destiny, as is the destiny of all men, lay in the hands of
    God.  This they believed and in this
    belief they trusted.  Troup and
    Worcester perceived the war from two different military perspectives.style="mso-spacerun: yes">  One an artilleryman and the other an
    infantryman, participated in every major battle between the Army of Northern
    Virginia and the Army of the Potomac, prior to the fall of 1863.style="mso-spacerun: yes">  Each witnessed the ultimate sacrifice made
    by so many for the causes they so fervently believed.  Each was equally willing to make the same sacrifice if so called
    upon by their nation or their Almighty. 
    “The Destiny of Men” follows Troup and Worcester from their enlistments
    in pre-war excitement of 1861 through the arduous first two years of the war, climaxing
    on the slopes of a hill outside Gettysburg.

    Keith G. Bauer

    Keith G. Bauer, a practicing psychotherapist in the New Orleans area, first developed his love for the American Civil War as a youth growing up in the Crescent City.  His interest in this sentinel event in American history grew, eventually consuming much of his time and energy.  A former teacher of American history and a historian of the war, Bauer’s interests include being an avid collector of Civil War memorabilia, as well as a living historian with the 7th Louisiana, Co K.  His first book entitled, “A Soldier’s Journey, the Civil War Diary of Henry C. Caldwell, Co. E, 7th Louisiana CSA” was published in 2002.  His inspiration to publish, “The Destiny of Men” came from items in Bauer’s collection of artifacts, which once belonged to the two main individuals in this book, and the uniqueness of Troup and Worcester’s story.
