Book excerpt: In this, the second of a two-part work on the life of Abraham Lincoln, Firedrake follows the exploits of young Ezra Cutshaw, a poor dirt farmer from Kentucky. Ezra comes of age in a nation, gone crazy for war. The story chronicles his rebuff by his childhood sweetheart, his experiences as a member of Morgans Raiders, his grievous wounding on the battlefield and his subsequent recuperation in a military hospital near Washington D.C. As the momentous conflict races to its conclusion, Ezra crosses paths with several historical figures. With Presidents Lincoln and Davis, plus a supporting cast of reprobates and pitiable souls, Ezra struggles to make sense of a world coming apart around him.
