A captivating history of the Civil War in northeast Florida

"Captures in rich detail the competition between the Confederates and Unionists, blacks and whites, and civilians and soldiers in the region. A fascinating and illuminating story told through compelling and persuasive prose."--Aaron Sheehan-Dean, author of Why Confederates Fought

"A fast-paced social history of the Civil War in northeastern Florida."--John David Smith, editor of Black Soldiers in Blue

When the Civil War finally came to North Florida, it did so with an intermittent fury that destroyed much of Jacksonville and scattered its residents. The city was taken four separate times by Federal forces but abandoned after each of the first three occupations. During the fourth occupation, it was used as a staging ground for the ill-fated Union invasion of the Florida interior, which ended in the bloody Battle of Olustee in February 1864. This late Confederate victory, along with the deadly use of underwater mines against the U.S. Navy along the St. Johns, nearly succeeded in ending the fourth Union occupation of Jacksonville.

Writing in clear, engaging prose, Daniel Schafer sheds light on this oft-forgotten theatre of war and details the dynamic racial and cultural factors that led to Florida's engagement on behalf of the South. He investigates how fears about the black population increased and held sway over whites, seeking out the true motives behind both the state and federal initiatives that drove freed blacks from the cities back to the plantations even before the war's end.

From the Missouri Compromise to Reconstruction, Thunder on the River offers the history of a city and a region precariously situated as a major center of commerce on the brink of frontier Florida. Historians and Civil War aficionados alike will not want to miss this important addition to the literature.

Like but...
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Was nice and light on my skin but did not see much improvement of redness after 6 weeks. No fragrance, did not irratate skin. May try another bottle incase it wasn't enough time to see results. Overall I like the product just not the results at this time.

Not an eye cream, but makes a great eye cream
I use this as any eye cream before applying my prescription tretinoin cream. Its provides a good barrier for my sensitive eye area without feeling heavy. Its large so it is a great value for my money. It is light weight, not greasy, unscented, and is great for my sensitive skin. I am prone to millia and haven't had any issues since switching to this for eye cream.

Everyday light weight face moisturizer
This is the perfect moisturizer! It is light weight and it doesn’t take but a pea size amount so it last forever! This has my skin feeling so moisture and the consistency can’t beat anything. It has the best ingredients and has no fragrance which is perfect for your skin. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Great product, but received older tube
Prequel is one of my favorite skincare brands, I have always loved this particular product and usually order on the brands official website. But I needed a new tube of this quickly so I ordered here on Amazon. I recieved a tube that expires in only 4 months. I’m not sure if they sell old stock through Amazon or what the issue is. I ordered a tube straight from prequel’s website afterwards and the expiration date isn’t until January of next year. Not a huge deal, but still kind of a bummer. I will not be ordering skincare products from Amazon anymore.
