Tim Wendel’s Rebel Falls transports readers back to 1864 as the American Civil War rages. The book follows a young woman who takes an assignment to act as a spy for the Union by traveling to Niagara Falls in order to thwart a Confederate plot. Author Burt Solomon says, “Well-written, smartly paced, and pleasurable to read, Rebel Falls brings to life a long-forgotten aspect of the Civil War with its sharply drawn characters and makes a convincing case that this little-known story might have altered the course of the war.” Sponsored by the Friends of Burke Center Library.
