About the Author

Acclaimed neo-Victorian scholar Lochlainn Seabrook, whose literary works range from astronomy to zoology, is the leading popularizer of authentic Civil War history and one of the most prolific and popular writer-historians in the world today. A descendant of the families of Alexander H. Stephens, John S. Mosby, Edmund W. Rucker, and William Giles Harding, he is known by literary critics as the "new Shelby Foote" and the "American Robert Graves," and by his fans as the "Voice of the Traditional South." The Sons of Confederate Veterans member is a Kentucky Colonel, a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, and currently the unreconstructed author and editor of nearly 100 educationally enlightening books for all ages. Described by his readers as "game changers" and "life-altering," his voluminous writings have introduced hundreds of thousands to vital facts that have been left out of our mainstream books. A 7th generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage and the 6th great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, Col. Seabrook is a lifelong writer with a 45-year background in American and Southern history, and is the author of the international blockbuster "Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!"

Reviews

AMAZON REVIEW, FIVE STARS: "Women in Gray is a must read for anyone interested in the women who supported the Confederacy. I bought this book as an addition to my growing interest in the Confederacy. I am a member of The United Daughters of the Confederacy, and my grandfather fought for the South. I have all the documentation of my grandfather's service; he was only 16 when he joined. The book, Women in Gray, allowed me greater insight into the lives of the women who were at home, trying to keep their families together through trying times, such as my great grandmother." - CAROL DUSTIN
AMAZON REVIEW, FOUR STARS: "Here's another of Seabrook's charming volumes. Combination Christian mystic and Confederate defender (both defensive positions stemming from intelligent arguments), this author has devoted insane amounts of time writing and researching, be it for the correction of North-written (and falsified) history or explorations of the deeper hidden meanings of biblical sacred texts. Women in Gray is history through photography. There are written segments (often excerpts from old publications) beyond just the captions. But it's the plethora of photos of Southern ladies past and present that bring this book to life. An author such as Seabrook could spin this book into several more books, data-dense with "informative" being an understatement. Lochlainn has but scratched the surface with this friendly introduction to the roles that strong Southern women fulfilled - and fulfill - in the Confederacy. You don't have to be a history buff to find the attraction in a volume like this. Big, friendly, purple and loaded with pictures and auxiliary information, the book isn't just an everyday volume of "Civil War" reportage. Seabrook, with Women in Gray, further cements his status as an exhaustive advocate of Confederate values and tireless defender of Confederate honor - doing his part to erase the rather unhistorical changes wrought by the North in its self-serving white-washing of history to paint itself the just victor that it wasn't." - KRISTOFER UPJOHN (Arkansas)

"I bought Women in Gray and loved it! Enjoyed reading about the women who were instrumental in supporting themselves and their families and doing all they could to support their husbands, brothers, fathers, etc. who were away from home fighting in the war. Excellent work and very interesting information! The tenacity, strength, and perseverance that our ancestors had was truly amazing!" - RENEE LANGFORD SULLIVAN
"More great history of our Southern women; a must-read and reference book. Highly recommended by 'Isenhour Speaks'." - BARRY ISENHOUR
"I purchased Women in Gray a few years ago and really enjoyed it." LINDA JACKSON
EBAY REVIEW, FIVE STARS - "ANOTHER PROUD SOUTHERN LADY" "Women in Gray is a wonderful read for anyone who is a Civil War buff. You never really heard about the women who supported the cause, before, during, and after the war until now. The war affected so many on both sides." - 636LADYBUG
