Mr. Horwitz takes us on a trip to the South to experience the impact of the Civil War on people today, primarily Southerners, but also a scattering of northerners who happen to cross his path. The book is funny at times and depressing at others. It appears both sides are unwilling to consider the others opinions and feelings. Presages the difficult divide we face today, in my opinion.
