About This Book
"Dancing with the Philistines" is an in-depth look at the life and military career of CSA Colonel Caleb Huse - whose sole mission (once the political strife in Washington deteriorated into an open, armed, civil conflict) was to singlehandedly scour Great Britain and the Main Land in a cloak-and-dagger effort to acquire the absolute best weapons and armaments for the South - to meet the growing demands of commanders fighting in the fields across the fractured Republic. In addition to acquiring war materiel, Huse contracted to have the very ships built that would transport this precious cargo across the Atlantic. The Caribbean Islands came into play, when cargo was then trans-loaded and placed on sleek, swift crafts that dared to run the Federal Blockade - into eagerly waiting Southern Ports. All the while "dancing" with those he considered to be "Philistines."
