Chinese Yankee: A True Story from the Civil War by Ruthanne Lum McCunn

9/24/2014

 
Picture
The true story of Hong Kong born Thomas Sylvanus (Ah Yee Way), an orphan brought to America for schooling in the mid1850s, but enslaved in Baltimore. Only sixteen at the outbreak of war, Thomas ran north, joined the Freedom Army, and was blinded in the first major campaign. He failed to fully recover his sight and, deemed incapable of performing the duties of a soldier, was discharged. Yet he reenlisted twice, saved his regiment's colors during the bloodbath of Spotsylvania, was lamed at Cold Harbor, and survived 9 months imprisonment in
the dreaded Andersonville stockade. His health broken, but his spirit intact, he battled for survival and justice for his family and himself until his death in 1891. 


Ruthanne Lum McCunn, writer of Chinese and Scottish descent whose award winning
work has been translated into eleven languages and adapted for stage and film, will present her latest work. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
