MAITLAND, FL— Kevin Horgan’s new book, The
March of the 18th: A Story of Crippled Heroes in the Civil War ($15.49,
paperback, 978-1-62697-140-0;
$7.99, e-book, 978-1-62697-141-7) is a historical novel that embraces the true movements of the 18th
Veterans’ Reserve Corps. The author focuses on vividly showing the struggle of
soldiers, whose sacrifice of limbs and independence made their service more
profound and meaningful.
“This book will inspire all and pay tribute to our wounded veterans, past and present,” states the author. “[The takeaways of this book are that] the invalid soldier is a living monument to our freedom and the true events of the 18th Veterans’ Reserve Corps will spark a greater interest in Civil war history.”
Kevin Horgan served as an infantry officer in the U.S.M.C. from 1979 to 1984 and was inspired to write a dramatic treatment of the 18th Veterans’ Reserve Corps for its fresh idea, new perspective on a forgotten unit of Civil War soldiers; and to give something back to wounded veterans. Kevin Horgan graciously donates fifty percent of all author royalties to charities for wounded veterans.
