Confederate Blood and Treasure: An Interview with Lochlainn Seabrook

Novelist James R. Elstads interview with award-winning Southern historian and Civil War scholar Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook took place between March and July 2015. Excerpted from Elstads book Questions From the North; Answers From the South, the interview is presented here in its entirety.

Though brief, Confederate Blood and Treasure: An Interview With Lochlainn Seabrook (Col. Seabrooks title for this work) provides an ideal introduction to Lincolns War as seen through the eyes of the South. Among other items of interest, you will learn why the Confederate Flag should be honored by all Americans, why Lincoln will always be detested in the South, why Robert E. Lee will always be revered across Dixie, who is really responsible for American slavery, why the War Between the States was illegal, unjust, and unnecessary, and why it is still highly relevant today. This illustrated, fact-based, information-packed defense of the South is a must-have for both beginners and seasoned Civil War buffs. Available in paperback and hardcover.

Neo-Victorian historian Lochlainn Seabrook, whose literary works range from astronomy to zoology, is one of the most prolific and popular writers in the world today. A descendant of the families of Alexander H. Stephens, John S. Mosby, Edmund W. Rucker, and William Giles Harding, he is known by literary critics as the "new Shelby Foote" and the "American Robert Graves," and by his fans as the "Voice of the Traditional South." The Sons of Confederate Veterans member is a Kentucky Colonel, a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, and the author and editor of nearly 100 scholarly books (currently). Described by his readers as "game changers" and "life-altering," his voluminous writings have introduced hundreds of thousands to vital facts that have been left out of our mainstream books. A 7th generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage and the 6th great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, Col. Seabrook has a 45-year background in American and Southern history, and is the author of the international blockbuster Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!
