I found this little gem after almost overlooking it simply because of the seemingly odd title. Do not be fooled, this is an interesting piece of U.S. history, written from a very personal perspective, and not of general knowledge. Set in the 1860s in “the smallest tadpole in the dirty pool of succession” the story gives a unique perspective of life leading up to and after the Civil War. The narration was as close to perfect as one could get and really enhanced the listen, especially during the few, somewhat mundane, where the story slowed a tad.
This short book is an absolute must listen for all those with an interest in that historical era. I would also recommend it for anyone looking for a little something different to listen too. Clearly and entertaining way to learn something new. A review copy of this audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in return for this unbiased review.
