About this product
Product Information
Already excerpted in the New Yorker , Black Cloud Rising is a compelling and important historical novel that takes us back to an extraordinary moment when enslaved men and women were shedding their bonds and embracing freedom By fall of 1863, Union forces had taken control of Tidewater Virginia, and established a toehold in eastern North Carolina, including along the Outer Banks. Thousands of freed slaves and runaways flooded the Union lines, but Confederate irregulars still roamed the region. In December, the newly formed African Brigade, a unit of these former slaves led by General Edward Augustus Wild--a one-armed, impassioned Abolitionist--set out from Portsmouth to hunt down the rebel guerillas and extinguish the threat. From this little-known historical episode comes Black Cloud Rising , a dramatic, moving account of these soldiers--men who only weeks earlier had been enslaved, but were now Union infantrymen setting out to fight their former owners. At the heart of the narrative is Sergeant Richard Etheridge, the son of a slave and her master, raised with some privileges but constantly reminded of his place. Deeply conflicted about his past, Richard is eager to show himself to be a credit to his race. As the African Brigade conducts raids through the areas occupied by the Confederate Partisan Rangers, he and his comrades recognize that they are fighting for more than territory. Wild's mission is to prove that his troops can be trusted as soldiers in combat. And because many of the men have fled from the very plantations in their path, each raid is also an opportunity to free loved ones left behind. For Richard, this means the possibility of reuniting with Fanny, the woman he hopes to marry one day. With powerful depictions of the bonds formed between fighting men and heartrending scenes of sacrifice and courage, Black Cloud Rising offers a compelling and nuanced portrait of enslaved men and women crossing the threshold to freedom.

Praise for David Wright Faladé: "This true-life story is akin to Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm, except that the storm here is on shore as well. The story roils with the terrifying racism of slavery's aftermath, as Wright (English, Univ. of Illinois) and Zoby (Caspar Coll.) indicate in this story of the life and times of Richard Etheridge (1842-1900)...More than one man's story, this mix of personal and institutional biography brings to life the daily challenges and triumphs of blacks pushed aside, but no less valuable, in a New South." --Library Journal "African-American, Civil War and naval history enthusiasts will find this of interest." --Publishers Weekly "Fire on the Beach is a grand American adventure story, perfectly paced and surely told, filled with lore, meticulous detail, and a dozen perfect storms." --Tom Franklin, author of Poachers "Wright and Zoby recount an extraordinary story of perseverance, courage, and professionalism in the face of extreme racial prejudice...The authors have revived a remarkable long-forgotten chapter in the annals of African American history." --Booklist "Combining a thrilling narrative pace with meticulous research, David Wright and David Zoby have restored for us all a vibrant chapter of our common history that should never be forgotten." --Philip Graham, author of How to Read an Unwritten Language, Praise for Black Cloud Rising : "David Wright Faladé's thrilling, revelatory Black Cloud Rising turnsCivil War history upside down and makes America give up one of its darkestsecrets--that our racial tension is literally a family feud."-- James Hannaham, Pen/FaulknerAward-winning author of Delicious Foods and The Pilot Imposter "The brilliant portrayal of crucially defining matters of racialhistory in America will rightly draw great acclaim to David WrightFaladé's Black Cloud Rising . But this novel's power is transcendent.Told in an exquisitely distinctive and nuanced voice, it reaches deep into theuniversal human condition and engages the core yearning of us all: our yearningfor a self, for an identity, for a place in the universe."-- Robert Olen Butler,Pulitzer-Prize winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain " Black Cloud Rising isthe story of a minor engagement in the Civil War, a footnote in most historybooks, but it is the story of a major part of American history: the hardfought, still continuing battle of African Americans to rise from slavery toequality. From a single time and place, like a hologram it generates athree-dimensional picture of the difficulties, complexities, and nuances facedby Black people then and now. If you like history, if you want to betterunderstand the struggle for equality, no matter your personal history or race,and if you want a good story, read this book. It's a triple threat."-- KarlMarlantes, New York Times -bestselling author of Matterhorn Praise for David Wright Faladé: "This true-life story is akin to Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm, except that the storm here is on shore as well.
