“Blackwater Betrayal”, published under Explora Books, takes readers on a captivating journey through the harsh realities of war and the enduring power of love. Set in the Florida Panhandle during the Civil War, this novel highlights the sacrifices and bonds forged in the face of intense conflict.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 9th Oct 2024 - Richard Kyle Smith's “Blackwater Betrayal” invites readers into the turbulent world of the American Civil War, offering an interesting integration of historical fact and gripping fiction. Set against the backdrop of the Confederacy's destructive actions in the Florida Panhandle, particularly around the Pensacola Bay and Milton, this new book provides an insightful glimpse into the region's hardships and survival during a pivotal time in U.S. history.
“Blackwater Betrayal: The Ruthless Treatment of Milton and Pensacola by the Confederacy” follows the connected lives of key characters of John Geoghegan, a daring blockade runner, and Maria Moreno, the Spanish beauty he loves but nearly loses. The story also introduces Ben Jernigan, who avoids the war by hiding in the Yellow River swamp, but is drawn back into the conflict when his enslaved friend, Caleb, kills in self-defense. Together, they navigate the dangers of war and find a way out of the collapsing Southern society on a ship bound for new beginnings.
Through its well-crafted narrative, “Blackwater Betrayal” explores the real historical context of a once-booming Pensacola, known for its industrial prowess and abundance of yellow pine forests. While many of the characters are fictional, the challenges they face echo the true devastation the war brought to the region. Smith’s work gives readers both a thrilling story and a reflection on the often-overlooked impact of the Confederacy’s actions on its own people.
With its rich historical setting and emotional depth, “Blackwater Betrayal” is sure to resonate with readers interested in Civil War history, regional tales, and character-driven fiction. This novel captures the complexities of loyalty, love, and survival in the face of war’s destructive power.
