Roaring Creek is the first published novel from Emerson “Willie’ Williams of Goochland.
Roaring Creek is a novel based on the true story of his great great grandfathers experiences in the Confederate army.  Clarke Lewis leaves his home in Greenbrier County, Va. (now Wv.) to enlist in the Confederate army in 1861.
This book is an adventure filled, fast paced novel that explores his feelings of love, personal growth, conquered fear and performance of duty on 14 battlefields. Share his feelings of despair, hopelessness, hunger and exposure to the elements in Point Lookout Prison as a prisoner of war. See the courage of the VMI cadets at New Market and endure the trenches at North Anna. Experience the horrible carnage of 7,000 Northern troops at Cold Harbor. This novel tells the story of the war through the eyes of a Virginia private, not the usual tale of high ranking officers and southern belles. It contains lost love and found love during the war years. View the Confederate soldier from a new perspective after reading this entertaining novel that’s about much more than just battles.
