Perish From The Earth: Being the True Narrative of John Patrick Callaghan, Colonel, North-Texas Guards An Inside Account of the Great New-Yor

Perish From The Earth centers on the New York City draft riots of 1863, and more crucially, upon a northern wanderer turned Confederate spy who manages to throw enough fuel on the riots' fire to turn American history in another direction. Perish may be the American War and Peace - an enormous claim, but one made carefully. If you take a look, you might just agree.

In this finely-layered fiction, John Patrick Callaghan's account of his role in creating street battle mayhem and political intrigue is annotated by Henry Brooks Adams, who holds a position in history at the Northern military academy at West Point. It is being published for limited distribution by the Northern government, ca. 1880, as the no-longer-United States prepare for a Second Great War.

Perish From The Earth is the product of a deeply-talented author, bearing some of the best elements of Twain and Tolstoy. It captures a startling reflection of its times and our national character.
