"Stained crimson veil illuminates the sky, lo three-hundred souls, prepare to die." The young woman stared at the dreadful warning that she held in her hands. She couldn't remember writing the words. Yet now she knew. Something terrible would surely happen, and soon. Six years have passed since the final shots of the Civil War and Lorene Meadows finds herself In Texas . . . a land torn apart by a bitter, vanquished people and a notorious feud. Amidst this turmoil she finds herself torn between two men, one with a secret, hidden past. As Lorene searches for the truth, she soon realizes that she must find a way to escape not only the clutches of the vicious lover pursuing her, but the impending doom that looms over the entire city of Indianola. "Karlshafen continues from the first page to the last with
excitement and human frailty...interwoven with the history
of the death of one of the 19th century's largest gulf
ports and its short but spectacular existence."
George Ann Cormier
Director, Calhoun County Historical Museum
