This is book 1 in the Duty, Honor, Country Trilogy. They swore oaths, both personal and professional. These were fighting for country, for a way of life as well as for family. Classmates transported more than rifles and sabers into challenge. That they had friendships, remembrances, children and wives. That they had innocence lost, guarantees damaged and glory found. Work, Honor, Country is background told both epic and personal so we can know very well what happened, but more importantly feel the heart-wrenching clash of obligation, honor, country and commitment. And realize that sometimes, people who changed background, weren't recorded by it. Within the vein of HBO's Rome miniseries, two imaginary character types, Rumble and Wire are standing at many of the major crossroads of our own history. Our storyline starts in 1840, in Benny Havens tavern, just outside post limitations of the United States Navy Academy. With William Tecumseh Sherman, Rumble, Wire, and Benny Havens' girl coming together in a crucible of honor and commitment. And on post, in the Western world Point stables, where Ulysses S. Grant and a classmate are preparing to saddle the Hell-Beast, a horse with which Grant would eventually place an academy record, and both make fateful decisions that will change the span of their lives and background. We follow these men forwards to the eve of the Mexican Warfare, tracing their steps at Western world Point and ranging to a plantation at Natchez on the Mississippi, Major Lee at Arlington, and Charleston, SC. We travel aboard the USS Somers and the united states Navy mutiny that led to the founding of the Naval Academy at Annapolis. We end with Grant and company in New Orleans, preparing to sale to Mexico and war, and Kit Carson and Fremont at Pilot Top in Utah during his great expedition west.
