Ain't Goin' to Glory

David Delman

4.9/5 (17541 ratings)

Description:David Delman has set his stirring novel in the New York City of 1863,when the nation’s first military draft incited the city’s people to riot, rape, pillage, and burn. He seamlessly weaves the personal lives of a group of captivating characters into the tremendous events of that July week during the Civil War. In the thick of the turmoil is Stephen Jardine, reporter on Horace Greeley’s Tribune, and his wife Margaret, once engaged to the bitter and charming surgeon who is Stephen’s best friend. There is the city’s widowed police chief, John Brautigan, in love with Margaret’s cousin Rosie but refusing to consider marriage with a woman so much younger, tormented by the young son whose rebellion turns to treachery and tragedy. And there is the proud Lt. Frazier, son of a runaway slave, whose rank alone is enough to enflame the town’s many bigots. All of these people, made real by the novelist’s art, are involved in the events made real by history. A “colored” orphanage was indeed sacked and burned during the riots. Black men were indeed castrated and hung. Death and destruction were citywide. Rarely does a writer succeed so well in bringing history alive through his created characters. Ain’t Goin’ to Glory combines the drama of a turbulent episode With a moving story of the individuals caught up in it.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
