Publisher blurb: It is 1867. The American Civil War is over and the South is in ashes. Newly freed slaves mingle with former owners. Carpetbaggers and scallywags look for quick profits. Corruption is the coin of the realm, and the desperate, despicable and insane all look for an angle. Written by our friend Tom Gurganus, this playset takes place in the still-smoldering ruins of southern Virginia.
