Publisher's Synopsis

Set in 1871, in post-Civil War New York, where maimed veterans beg in the streets and a self-satisfied class of new wealth and weak intellect glitters in this setting of mass misery. One morning a young man walking down Broadway sees someone he recognizes as his supposedly dead and buried father.
