AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Funny, daring and highly original, C. W. G. combines nineteenth century rhetoric, twentieth century streetspeak and moments of pure poetry. If you ever wanted to know about the Civil War...well, read another book. But if you ever wanted to know how sometimes failure is essential to victory, how our past can stay the same but history always changes, and how men can be torn apart by their convictions, this story tells it like it is. (Back cover).

Notes

Dedication: For my father.
Epigraph: 'When I feel that we two meet in a perception, that our two souls are tinged with the same hue, why should I measure degrees of latitude, why should I count...yours?'--History, Ralph Waldo Emerson.
