From dust jacket: "Take three brothers and two sisters of an old Virginia Family, loyal Confederates, and in the first hard pind of he War for Southern Independence let them learn that their father was also the grandfather of Abraham Lincoln. Tell the effect of that disclosure upon the character of each one... House Divided follows an American family, the Currains, through four generations. It moves with the slow engrossing pace of life itself. To read it is to have prolonged your life backwards for a hundred years and to bring back not a knowledge of history, but an experience of great human emotions, a knowledge of great ambitions and great sacrificies that continue and mount today." The author is a grand-nephew of General James Longstreet. Quotes are for illustrative purposes only and remain the property of their copyright holders.
