Ghosts of War: The Killing of Captain Wesley Riden

Written by teacher, military veteran, anthropologist and philosopher C. Mark Riden M.A. M.Ed., the Ghosts of War elevates the lives of diverse civilian heroes and military combatants who witnessed or had fought in America's Wars that most historians never mention in print. Ghosts of War takes the reader on a journey into the past with a murder mystery in mind complete with a host of collaborators trying to answer the question: Who killed Captain Wesley Riden? After being arrested twice in Rolla, Missouri for speaking out against the Union, he and his twin newborns were violently cut down by canon in 1864.
