If you’re looking for a way to present the Sultana story to younger readers, Alice Morrison tells me her novella “River Reunion: Seven Days Aboard the Sultana” may be the answer as it was written “with middle-school aged kids in mind, as my protagonist is a 13-year-old boy,” but that adults will also find it engaging.
Morrison, a published writer with over 40 articles to her credit, was inspired to write about the Sultana after hearing the story of her friend Laurie Bries’ great great grandfather Winfield Scott Colvin, with the 6th Kentucky Cavalry, who survived the disaster.
She’ll be attending the Sultana reunion later this month where she will be selling and signing the self published book, which can also be ordered online through her website.
