I See Nothing But the Horrors of A Civil War by Alexander Cain
About I See Nothing But the Horrors of A Civil War by Alexander Cain
It is commonly stated history is written by the victor and the American Revolution is no exception. As a result of the rebel triumph in the War for Independence, loyalists historically have been placed in a negative light. In countless works and popular culture, loyalists have been portrayed as inept people whose blind faith to the English crown led to their downfall. Unfortunately, such an erroneous stereotype only trivializes the struggles of the American loyalist.
In 2014, Author Alexander Cain released the first edition of “I See Nothing But the Horrors of a Civil War.” Now, five years later, this acclaimed book has been rewritten to reflect the recent discovery of countless new historical documents, town records and historical artifacts.
This is the story of the men, women and children from New York and New England who chose to remain faithful to the Crown and fought as part of McAlpin’s Corps of American Volunteers during the Saratoga Campaign of 1777.
For the first time Cain carefully outlines the political, social, religious and economic motivations to remain faithful to the Crown. I See Nothing But the Horrors of a Civil war also reconstructs the role of the American loyalist who served with McAlpin’s Corps of American Volunteers during the Burgoyne Invasion. Finally, the role of loyalist refugees is brought to light. Cain carefully recounts the daily struggles of female loyalists, as well as the hardships experienced by exiled loyalists who were forcibly confined to Canadian refugee camps.

Stepping Stones: A personal Guide to Your Life by J. Landis Casper
About Stepping Stones: A personal Guide to Your Life by J. Landis Casper
This is the first in a series of books that contain a collection of true stories of individuals who have had extraordinary events happen in their lives at the precise moment they were needed. Much like crossing a stream in the dark. You are able to see the first step, and then as you keep putting your foot forward a stone appears. The process repeats until safe passage is made to the other side.
It is a book to build faith in one’s own abilities and to realize that there is something bigger than ourselves. To see that at certain times a force can and will act in our interest to assist us. It also speaks to universal or eternal laws that have been taught by most, if not all, religions. Whereas if a law is followed a reward may be received.
This collection of stories is meant to motivate a reader to use the examples in the stories and then inspect their own past to see where something similar has happened to them. It is probably not something earthshaking. It could be something very simple as in dropping something on the sidewalk. Stopping to pick it up just as a car that is out of control runs over the area you would have been walking had you not dropped that item. To have a feeling of gratitude for our lives and the benevolent forces that are about each of us. This will build faith for their future and provide a brighter outlook when everything seems so awful all around.
I want many people to read these stories and those coming in the future. As such the book is priced at .99 for the first 90 days. I am also going to be giving away free copies on the 12th through the 14th of April 2019 through Kindle Select.

Author Bio:
First I am NOT a psychologist, clergyman or professional counselor. I am man who grew up on a farm in Idaho but have lived all across the United States. I am a father, husband, friend, and neighbor. I have had a good life, but like almost everyone, I have had times where I questioned myself and God. However, when I looked in my “rear view mirror”, I have seen where things have happened that was totally out of my control. Each of these worked for my benefit and safety.
I believe strongly in prayer and/or meditation, for those that don’t believe in prayer. At times when I prayed I have thought my prayers weren’t answered because I didn’t get the response, I had wanted, but, after looking back at the overall result I realized had I gotten my desire it would have been a disaster for me and/or my family. I used to be someone that played golf every day until the day came that changed that. I was on my way to play golf with some friends when I had an accident at a gas station tripping over a gas hose. It shattered both my wrists and my right elbow. I can no longer swing a golf club BUT my focus was changed to raising our son that I had neglected. He was just 8 years old at the time. I really had not spent any time with him due to my excuses of building a business for us. or, golf. He was the last of my 5 children.
I missed out on the rearing of the first four due to very selfish reasons. Luckily they had a fantastic mother who did double duty. A few years ago I lost my oldest son to cancer. A year after I had my accident is when we found out our oldest son had his disease. It was too late to make up for lost time. A son I had ignored in the same way as I had the youngest. Looking back I don’t think I would have changed had I not had something arise that changed my perspective and priorities.
I am sincerely grateful for those who take the time to read this biography as well as my books. If someone should have a story they would like to include in the next book I would be most interested in hearing from them. I can be contacted at WestsideofTetons@Gmail.Com.
