so-soTowards the end of this book I had to snatch at the 10 minutes of reading time I got in the morning over breakfast, but when they were moments like this, I didn‘t even want to read...
It was a good story but I wanted it to address more of the effects of the #election rather than the electric election night excitement then,...nothing. :/
Will look for more on #Reconstruction Halt elsewhere, #recommendations welcome!
pickAnother good one in Vidal‘s Narratives of Empire historical fiction series. Focus is on America, you guessed it, in the year 1876. Which was when the controversial election where Hayes was determined the winner over Tilden just barely before Inauguration Day. Other historical figures make cameos here, such as Mark Twain (Tom Sawyer was published in 1876). 3 down, 4 more to go in this series!
I was tagged by @Lynnsoprano & @Kammbia1 for #10authorrecommendations and these are old or new favorites for varying reasons. Of course I‘m leaving a lot more out!
