About the
Author: Dwight V. Murray Born in a time when history
was still being taught in public schools and before sanctimonious
idiots began to determine what our children needed—or did not need to
know of this nation’s glorious past, the author was one of the lucky
ones. History of this great nation was taught and never censored.
He has spent decades studying that Antebellum era searching for the causes of the American Civil War. He and his wife have visited all of the National battlefields and are collectors of Civil War weaponry. His great-grandfather, “Gus” Murray and Gus’s older brother Joseph, fought in the Civil War, and both of their respective units fought in Pickett’s Charge. Gus, although wounded twice, survived and surrendered at Appomattox with the balance of General Lee’s army. Great-granduncle Joseph also survived a futile attempt of the Confederacy to stop Sherman ’s march as it plowed through North Carolina northward. Dwight V. Murray has a proud heritage. There are thousands of authors who write about the Civil war and each story told is a close version to any other. After years spent following the war from one battlefield to the next, he realized the story had been told many times over and did not want to be just another Civil War author. He learned there never was just one reason, but many—and all are still being argued over. From all of his research, a new concept bloomed. The story of the southern family, their reason for fighting, the cost of doing so, both personal and material, needed to be told. In order to tell the human side, he needed to become as one with those families. Such a story is As the
Cannon Roar.
