REBELS ON LAKE ERIE tells a story of intrigue, conspiracy and
adventure, set against the backdrop of the Civil War. Virginia
native John Yates Beall - a wealthy, college-educated Southern
plantation owner - served in the Confederate army under the
legendary General Stonewall Jackson. Wounded in battle, Beall
continued to serve the cause as a privateer, attacking Union
ships on Chesapeake Bay. Later, he would lead two ambitious (and
ultimately unsuccessful) missions: to liberate the Confederate
soldiers imprisoned on Johnson's Island Prisoner-of-War Depot
near Sandusky, Ohio and to free captured Confederate officers by
derailing a passenger train in Upstate New York. Three years in
the making, REBELS ON LAKE ERIE recounts Beall's wartime
exploits through interviews with Civil War authors, historians
and scholars; photographs, maps and illustrations from libraries
and archives across the U.S. and Canada; and period music from
the Civil War era. Visit the Website:
