{"product_id":"the-letter-writer-james-welsh-9781494849931","title":"The Letter Writer: A Reporter's Civil War Journey","description":"Growing up in 1850s Alabama, Cooper Waterman longed to become a man of letters - a lofty dream for a handicapped lad who was poor and fatherless, and left school at 13 to become a shoeshine boy. But with his imagination, a notebook and a stub of a pencil, he rose to become a newspaper reporter, eventually going off to serve as a Civil War correspondent. Covering an epic American struggle, Cooper survives the siege of Vicksburg and rides through bloody cavalry battles with the formidable General Nathan Bedford Forrest, taking time along the way to write letters to home for hundreds of wounded or illiterate soldiers. Compelling, ringing with authenticity and told through the eyes of a southern journalist, The Letter Writer is a Civil War story remarkably different than any you may have ever read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Welsh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1494849933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781494849931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.75d","brand":"James Welsh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052485079295,"sku":"9781494849931","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47487779-ac6d-42bc-a775-68ef01a1db2c.jpg?v=1685019067","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-letter-writer-james-welsh-9781494849931","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
