Hodgins Backmaker grows up in the 1930s in a poor, shrunken United States that lost the War of Southron Independence, where the Confederacy is the great power. Bookish and unhandy, he makes his way to New York and then to a scholars’ community, where his study of the war leads him towards Gettysburg itself.
