In less than two weeks (just 13 days) it will all be over: the last cookie
crumbs eaten, the fruitcake moved from table to doorstop, the pine
needles transferred from tree to carpet, packages unwrapped, ribbon
stolen by the cat, a pile of tinsel coughed up by the dog, last turkey
leg gnawed, silly hats, confetti, and noisemakers put away for another
year, resolutions made and already broken. The holidays come and go so
fast that we hardly have time to sit and enjoy them. But
this year, when Sunday, January 3, rolls around, there will be one last
shiny box under that scraggly tree — a new box, just arrived. And
inside? A whole new world to explore: the ragged destruction of the
Civil War framed by new camellia blossoms, a forbidden inter-racial love
affair, visits from the Ku Klux Klan, governmental corruption,
prostitutes in the state house, the first impeachment of a president,
economic collapse, street riots, midnight lynching parties, wild
horses, successful business partnerships, and dreams washed away by a
tidal surge. Make sure your copy of Yankee Reconstructed arrives
safely on January 3rd to brighten your post-holiday gloom. Pre-order
