HENRY: A Sequel To Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage by Don Yost
Summary of the release
Recent release “HENRY: A Sequel to Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage” from Covenant Books author Don Yost is a revealing account that answers the unsettled· queries in connection with the life and struggles of Henry Fleming.
Don Yost was a combat infantryman and war correspondent during the Vietnam war. Currently a senior adjunct professor of English composition, he holds BA and MA degrees in English Literature from Seton Hall University and Rosemont College and is founding president of a national veteran’s organization in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. He has completed his new book, “HENRY:
A Sequel to Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage”, an awe-inspiring take on the life of Henry Fleming after the war. It presents how his faith was one of the
main driving factors of him overcoming the trauma and guilt that the war had embedded in his memories. This is a beautifully written work that holds many important lessons for today’s generation.
Yost shares: “In the last few paragraphs of Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage, his protagonist, the young Henry Fleming, struggles with the aftermath of his wartime experiences. He is tormented by his guilt from having abandoned
the tattered soldier during the Battle of Chancellorsville and by the death of his
best friend, Jim Conklin. Scholars have questioned Crane’s implications here. Has
Henry truly become ‘a man’ because of the trauma he has experienced? Is war a coming-of-age? How has Henry been changed by his experiences? How was he able to adjust to civilian life? V\{hat was the impact on Henry’s family? What did he
learn from the experiences? Crane’s novel, therefore, leaves many questions unanswered ‘ Henry: A Sequel to ‘The Red Badge of Courage’ answers these questions. Moreover, it is the story of Henry Fleming’s spiritual journey of personal growth from trauma, guilt, and alienation to redemption.”
Published by, Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Don Yost’s new book is a deeply moving narrative that examines the strength and resilience of war veterans. It contains a comprehensive depiction of the psychological trauma caused by a life and death situation.
Readers can purchase “HENRY: A Sequel to Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.

Hi,
I heard an interesting piece on Stephen Crane today on NPR. I’m interested to read The Devil’s Acre, but cant find it in any online listings. Do you know how/where I can access it?
About me: documentary filmmaker, based in Durham, NC. I’ve done some research on Sing-Sing and am just really curious to read his take.
Many Thanks for any help.
Best Regards,
Rex

Dear colleagues,
For a variety of reasons, with uncertainties about the development ofthe current pandemic situation topping the list, we will have to scrap the Stephen Crane 150th Anniversary symposium. We decided early on that we were either going to have a full-scale, three-dimensional event, or no event at all.
Since there is currently no way telling which way the development is going to tilt, and before we actually book the hotel rooms that we only reserved so far, and end up paying a lot of money we don’t have for an event that has to be called off, we decided to abandon the project.
Thank you for your interest in the symposium, and sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Best wishes,
Wolfgang Hochbruck
The Stephen Crane Society
