90 Miles to Richmond tells the extraordinary true story of a young woman who risked everything to save her husband-a wounded Union soldier trapped behind enemy-held territory.
Only 25 years old, with a family farm to protect and children to raise, she faced an unthinkable choice: wait and pray, or set out across enemy lines on a desperate mission that might cost her her life.
This gripping novel follows her harrowing journey on a buckboard wagon pulled by a blind horse. With sheer willpower, she navigates around enemy columns, scavengers, drifters, and broken men-all for the man she refused to give up.
Drawing from historical records and family archives, Russell Beck breathes vivid life into the story of his second great-grandparents, painting a powerful portrait of love, war, and courage-a timeless testament to devotion and the strength of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds.
