The General and Monaville, Texas

By: Author Joe G, Bax

This historical fiction novel of the post civil war era is a book for all ages to enjoy, reflect and let the mind ponder on the past through an emotional stand point most often not perceived in history books.

A Third generation Texan born and raised on a former slave owned cotton grown plantation views his home a little differently after the civil war has come to an end. With a very predictable grandfather teaching him the routine of daily life on the farm, and his father scouting the land leased around the outskirts, life for John Ross was simple. Events within and on the outskirts of their plantation into the town of Monaville would make his simple child hood life into a confusing, fast thinking, grown up world.

When a few corrupt men of the law and member's of the Ku klux Klan decide to take a jealous matter from within into their own hands by causing, heart ache, destruction, and menus within the plantation and its walls, The general and Grandfather of John Ross decides it's time he resurrected his war past to put an end to the menus situations these corrupt Klan members were causing his friends and family.

Preventing the future from being tainted with the judgments of these corrupt men was a success, but what the general didn't count on was his past coming back to haunt him in an unsuspecting way.
