Author Description

The Unvanquished is a series of seven interconnected stories that follow the growth of Bayard Sartoris from a young boy to a man during the Civil War and the subsequent Reconstruction. As the Sartoris family struggles to maintain their dignity and their home in the face of the encroaching Union army, Bayard must learn to navigate the complex moral landscape of a South in transition. Through his eyes, we see the destruction of the old order and the difficult birth of a new one, as the characters grapple with the consequences of their actions and the weight of their history.
