Award-winning storyteller and Methodist pastor, Tom Letchworth, retells some of the most fascinating stories from the American Civil War.

And since he's a United Methodist minister, it's only natural that he saw the spiritual analogies:
The mystery of the glow-in-the-dark wounds after the Battle of Shiloh.How the Battle of Manassas "invaded" a civilian picnic.The volunteer nurse whose orders even General Sherman followed.How a slave sailed his way to freedom and later served as a U.S. congressman.The bullet that passed through General Cleburne's open mouth as he yelled orders.Lula McLean's doll "witnessing" the peace talks.The tragic maritime Sultana Disaster.Lincoln's official presidential memo in which he described a general's wife as a "saucy woman."Many readers have bought more than one copy of the paperback edition of War Ain't No Picnic -- one for themselves, and the rest as gifts.
