The Civil War is over. But for Sergeant James Taft, there seems to be no end in sight. He had seldom considered what he would do after the war, because he never believed he would live through it. After a short but unsuccessful attempt to return to Pennsylvania and work as a farmer, James sets out to find peace and somehow vanquish the ghosts in his soul. What he can't possibly foresee, as he rides west, is the epic story of tragedy and triumph that he will take part in. "It's unfortunate, but true, that darkness must often be complete, before we notice the subtle glimmer of hope." - Doc Jefferies, Ever the Wayward Sky.

About the Author
After playing for thousands in the fall and winter of 1996 Oliver’s band abruptly disbanded. Oliver along with a good friend and guitarist got together to form a new band in early spring of 1997. However rather than form a new band the two put together an expedition plan to travel to Northern Canada and Alaska to prospect for gold.
Leaving in April of 1997 Oliver and company traveled up the historic AL-CAN highway. After exploring the Yukon and Northwest territories of Canada as well as the Arctic Circle the team traveled over the Top of the World highway to Alaska.
Traveling throughout Alaska, Oliver and his fellow travelers marveled at the beauty of this still rugged wilderness. As summer began to wane the team struggled with the decision to leave Alaska. However the thought of the extreme Alaskan winters motivated the explores to high tail it back to the lower forty eight just as the snows were breaking over the Brooks mountain range.
1999-2000 Oliver traveled through Asia, visiting Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries.
In 2004 Oliver published his first book and continues writing articles and stories under various pseudonyms. Currently Oliver and family reside happily in the U.S.
