War in the SouthSample passage:When it was rumored that the soldiers would be sent on a certain night, Paul Revere stood by his steed waiting for a lantern signal in a church tower. When he saw it, he started on his midnight ride to apprise the people. When he reached the little town of Lexington, someone said that he was making too much noise and would awaken the people. “Noise,” cried Revere, “you’ll soon have noise enough; the regulars are coming.”On came the soldiers and when they reached Lexington, a fight occurred in which several were killed. The troops then moved on to Concord. But the farmers, having heard of their coming, seized their muskets and swarmed into Concord by hundreds. A fierce fight ensued. The British were beaten and started to run; but the farmers kept after them, and from behind trees, fences, thickets, and hillocks they poured an incessant fire into the retreating enemy. No doubt the whole British force would have been killed or captured had not General Gage sent reinforcements, who met the fleeing army at Lexington.About the Author:Henry William Elson (1857-1935) was a professor of history at Ohio State University. Other works include “Side Lights on American History” and “Four Great American Presidents.”

As I floated, chattering in cold, the freezing waters spraying my face and mouth, the salt burning my throat; as the night tide whipped me back and forth, and I could see nothing but inky blackness for miles and miles all around me, and no sense of direction as to where the closest shore was, I wondered.To fight the bad guys, I’d had to become like them, with that precarious line so blurred that I could no longer tell the difference between the good and the bad guys, anymore, or even which one I now was. I’d caused a revolution. The perfect justice to fit their crimes.But what would my justice be? At the mercy and mercy alone of high-tide to do with me as it pleased, I tiredly closed my eyes. “I’m coming, Nana. I’m coming,” I said weakly.Catina Salsbury returns for the fifth book in the action-packed dystopian series, The Modules.
