A Boy Caught in a War That Was Never His to Begin With

Three-Tooth Confederate is a gripping historical novel that follows seventeen-year-old Horace Lanham, a Southern farm boy whose quiet life is swept into the chaos of the Civil War. What begins as a trip to help family turns into a fight for survival, loyalty, and identity.

Through cannon fire, frozen mornings, and letters that never arrive in time, Horace faces not just the brutality of battle, but the aching weight of growing up too fast. Alongside his closest friends, he learns what it means to lead, to lose, and to keep love alive—even in the darkest moments.

Told with vivid detail and emotional depth, this is not a story about politics or flags. It’s a story about the people history left behind. About brotherhood, heartbreak, and holding onto your humanity when the world asks you to let it go.

If you’ve ever wondered what war looked like through the eyes of a boy who never asked to be a soldier, Three-Tooth Confederate will stay with you long after the final page.
