Journey to Asylum: Judah Benjamin's Great Escape
As the American Civil War neared its end, Judah Benjamin of Louisiana stood accused of treason and high crimes against the Federal Government. A leader in the Confederate Cabinet, Benjamin was often called the "brain of the Confederacy." He was a loyal friend of President Jefferson Davis and an enemy of the Union. To evade certain imprisonment and possible execution, Benjamin embarked on a great escape from the fallen Confederate capital at Richmond. Benjamin's goal was to go as far away from the United States as he could--if need be, to "the middle of China," he told friends. Along the way, Judah Benjamin faced hardships and the constant threat of capture by Federal patrols combing the South. Twice he was shipwrecked and three times he was nearly apprehended. Journey to Asylum: Judah Benjamin's Great Escape is an adventure and a real-life drama in American history.

About the Author

History has always been important to Don. As far back as he can remember, he wanted to hear stories about the past. History was his favorite subject in high school, and he later earned a graduate degree. His first published article was in Cobblestone, a history magazine for young readers. Since then he has published books and many articles on all kinds of different history topics, such as aviation, baseball, and the Civil War. For Don, the old Latin expression holds true--historia magistra vitae est, "history is life's teacher." Follow him on Twitter @DonLankiewicz
