A Plow Boy's Adventure is a historical fiction novel based on the life of C.W. Hubert, a member of the 33rd Tennessee Infantry, and it is based upon the collection of original letters written by Hubert during the war. As the American Civil War began, Charles Wesley Hubert was convinced that joining the war was a necessity to protect both his wife, Bettie, and their unborn child. Growing up the child of a war veteran, Hubert follows in his father's footsteps, but he discovers the dangers of war are far beyond bullets and guns. He must attempt to survive both the Northern army and illness, in order to return home. If you would like to read the original letters, they are available in the companion book, "A Plow Boy's Journey: The C.W. Hubert Story."
