Blood Once Spilled (Paperback) John T. Wayne

Orphaned as a child, Le Roy Ware returns from the war to the home he grew up in. The couple that took him in died while he was away and the land and house is the only thing Le Roy has left in the world.

Reconstruction is in full swing and the Yankees are taking every piece of land they can. Although Le Roy left the area with bad blood between him and people of the small town, Le Roy realizes the enemy is not those he left behind, but the Yankees and carpetbaggers. Along with the same men who treated him poorly as a child, he is determined Yankees will not get his land, nor his friend's neighboring Belle Grove Plantation.

With new friends and old, a new wife who may be into Voodoo, and a totally unexpected ally, he sets out to fight the Yankees, determined to keep what's theirs.
