Thomas Berry, ’88, published his seventh novel, “Blue Line to Richmond,” which centers on the American Civil War. The book earned the 2024 International Impact Award for Historical Fiction, War and Military category.

The story follows three people, including Paul Revere, the grandson of the Revolutionary War hero, as he marches out with the Harvard Regiment, hoping to end this bloody rebellion quickly. Elizabeth Van Lew is a Richmond Unionist with a growing spy network, and 2nd Lt. Morton Tower, a Gettysburg casualty, is locked away in the infamous Libby Prison.

They are joined together by a unique medallion forged in the fires of Boston by Revere’s famous grandfather. As the North and South collide on the fields of battle and the back halls of the capital, the reader is brought along for a very intimate and personal journey.

The novel can be found on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Berry’s website. www.thomas-berry.com.
