Â
The dramatic true story of the worst maritime disaster in U.S. history, Alan Huffmanâ€™s Sultana brings to breathtaking life a tragic, long forgotten event in Americaâ€™s Civil Warâ€”the sinking of the steamship Sultana and the loss of 1,700 lives, mostly Union soldiers returning home from Confederate prison camps. A gripping account that reads like a nonfiction Cold Mountain, Sultana is powerful, moving, rich in irony and fascinating historical detailâ€”a story no history aficionado or Civil War buff will want to miss.
