Review: Haunted Battlefields of the South

March 10, 2011 By: bryan Category: Civil War Ghosts

Dear Readers:
I just received a glowing review from Lone Star Book Reviews on my book Haunted Battlefields of the South. Here’s the review: “These true tales include chilling firsthand accounts of encounters with Civil War ghosts. The spirits of dead soldiers from both Union and Confederate armies walk into re-enactor camps, march in a ghostly night fog, call us into line and ask for help. This is a book that will give your goose bumps and make your hair stand up on the back of your neck. They still inhabit the battlefields where they were killed. . . . This spooky book has a bone chilling “WOW+” rating.

Louisville’s Southern Exposition: New book from Bryan Bush now available!

March 05, 2011 By: admin Category: Book Sales/Availability, Louisville History

In late February, Bryan released a new book Louisville’s Southern Exposition, 1883-1887: The City of Progress.

Here’s info about the book from Bryan’s main site:

Throughout much of the 1880s, the Southern Exposition showcased the largest-ever single display of agricultural machinery and technical innovation in the United States. With over 1,500 commercial and mercantile attractions — the likes of which the world had never seen — history was made and innovation discovered in Louisville’s Central Park.

Some of the most influential figures of the time participated, including Henry Watterson, Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr., A. Bidermann DuPont and President Chester A. Arthur. Former Louisville resident Thomas Edison personally oversaw the installation of his newly invented incandescent light bulb that lit a record-breaking 4,600 lamps. Author and Louisville historian Bryan S. Bush offers an unprecedented perspective on this fascinating historic event.
