Description

A father. A son. A war that turns neighbor against neighbor.

In the divided mountains of East Tennessee, loyalty isn't a matter of politics-it's a matter of survival.

Harrison Self is a farmer who wants nothing to do with the Civil War. He believes in staying out of it, keeping his land, and protecting his family. But when his teenage son is drawn into a dangerous Unionist plot to burn Confederate railroad bridges, that distance collapses overnight.

Within days, Harry is arrested, accused of treason, and thrown into a system where trials are little more than theater and a single accusation can end in the noose.

What follows is not a battlefield story, but something closer, more dangerous. A world where neighbors watch each other too closely, where loyalties shift without warning, and where survival depends on choices no one should have to make.

Inspired by the true story of Harrison Self and the 1861 East Tennessee bridge burnings, The Reluctant Patriot is a work of Civil War historical fiction that brings to life a lesser-known chapter of American history-one where the war was fought not just between armies, but within families and communities.

As violence closes in and trust erodes, Harry is forced to confront the question he's spent his life avoiding: what do you stand for when staying neutral is no longer an option?

Rich in historical detail and grounded in real events, this is a story of divided loyalties, moral courage, and the quiet, devastating cost of war-perfect for readers drawn to character-driven historical fiction and overlooked stories from the Civil War era.
