FREEDOM'S ALTAR are the words created for the title of a book by Charles W. Price; FREEDOM'S ALTAR takes the reader back to the hills of North Carolina to the Reconstruction period of the Civil War.

FREEDOM'S ALTAR are the words created for the title of a book by Charles W. I learned more about this Reconstruction period than I did in school and it seemed to be personal or with biographical parts.

The sequel to Price's Hiwassee (1996), answering some moral questions left hanging in the earlier novel. The author weaves into the tale portions of his own family history (the Price and Curtis families here are factually inspired)

The sequel to Price's Hiwassee (1996), answering some moral questions left hanging in the earlier novel. In the previous story, set in North Carolina during the Civil War, Judge Madison Curtis, when the Curtis home and lands were threatened by bushwhackers, diverted a raiding party to a neighboring farm. The author weaves into the tale portions of his own family history (the Price and Curtis families here are factually inspired). By story's end, despite the warmth of Judge Curtis, the reconciliation of the races has failed to take place and the hate-mongers are on the rise.

His second novel, Freedom’s Altar (1996), and his third novel, Cockspur (2002) continued the Price . A fourth e-book, Call Down Heaven’s Fire, is a medieval parable closely akin to Price’s own religious evolution as the son of a Methodist minister.

His second novel, Freedom’s Altar (1996), and his third novel, Cockspur (2002) continued the Price family saga begun by the Civil War era Hiwassee, taking place in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War among the soldiers who returned to their families along the Hiwassee River Publishers Weekly called the book absorbing and moving historical fiction. In 2013, Price returned to mainstream publishing, with the publication of his first book-length non-fiction.

Judge Madison Curtis has just pronounced the benediction over the grave of his eldest daughter when two grimy women riding double on a mule enter his driveway.

He has also written a nonfiction book "Season of Terror: The Espinosas in Central Colorado, March-October 1863," to be published in the spring of 2013 by Timberline Books, a division of the University Press of Colorado. His second, "Freedom's Altar," won the Sir Walter Raleigh Award as the best fiction of 1999 written by a North Carolina author.

Judge Madison Curtis of North Carolina begins to rebuild his life after the devastation of the Civil War and finds himself taking on that challenge side-by-side with one of his former slaves
  • Set during the early days of Reconstruction in the mountains of North Carolina, this novel is the second of four novels that create a multigenerational saga in which you will come to know some of the most honorable and most despicable characters ever to emerge from Civil War literature; and the fighting and hatred and fear continue to build as lives and emotions are squandered and sacrificed on the altar of freedom, long after the war has ended. Everyone is searching for something---revenge, profit, normalcy, love, reconciliation, redemption---and how each character goes about his own personal journey is the stuff of this novel. Price's characters, language, and emotions are true to place and time, and he writes with great beauty and clarity, tackling difficult and heartrending themes that show us the rawness of human nature played out during a time of great cultural angst. I recommend you treat yourself to a real feast by reading all four novels in the order they were written: Hiwassee, Freedom's Altar, The Cock's Spur, and Where the Water-Dogs Laughed.

  • Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book about the post civil war in western NC. Love it that the author live near me.

  • This is the second of 4 books written about my ancestors and I am totally excited to read the other two. Charles Price did a wonderful job of telling my family's history.

  • Price takes you back to the hills of North Carolina to the Reconstruction period of the Civil War. Here the people must face the evils of reconstruction. They have to find the means of survival, good or bad. Price certainly has some very unique characters in his story that keeps you turning the page. It makes you wonder if they were the real McCoy. By Ruth Thompson author of "Natchez Above The River"

  • I enjoy reading historic novels and this one did not disappoint me.
