Summary
In a landmark work of alternate history, as the United States struggles to recover from its Civil War defeat, Hodgins McCormick Backmaker devotes himself to the pursuit of knowledge, a quest that brings him into conflict with powerful foes and takes him on a perilous odyssey through time itself. Reprint.
(view table of contents)Amazon.com description: Product Description: "[WARD MOORE IS] ONE OF THE BEST AMERICAN WRITERS."
--Ray Bradbury
The United States never recovered from The War for Southern Independence. While the neighboring Confederacy enjoyed the prosperity of the victor, the U.S. struggled through poverty, violence, and a nationwide depression.
The Industrial Revolution never occurred here, and so, well into the 1950s, the nation remained one of horse-drawn wagons, gaslight, highwaymen, and secret armies. This was home for Hodgins McCormick Backmaker, whose sole desire was the pursuit of knowledge. This, he felt, would spirit him away from the squalor and violence.
Disastrously, Hodgins became embroiled in the clandestine schemes of the outlaw Grand Army, from which he fled in search of a haven. But he was to discover that no place could fully protect him from the world and its dangerous realities. . . .
"The Civil War has been often rethought, most effectively in Ward Moore's Bring the Jubilee."
--Donald E. Westlake
