The cast is drawn from every stratum: a likeable and laconic Irish-American hustler, an ambitious and larcenous Yankee stockbroker, an immigrant serving girl, a beautiful and mysterious mulatto actress and her white minstrel lover as well as a cluster of real-life characters, including scheming, ever-pompous General George McClellan; fiery, fierce Archbishop \"Dagger John\" Hughes; and fast-declining musical genius Stephen Foster. The fates of these characters coalesce in the cataclysm of the Draft Riots, as a pivotal period in the history of New York and the nation is painfully, vividly, magically bought to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Quinn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0823294080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823294084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Relit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.40d","brand":"Peter Quinn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995907686655,"sku":"9780823294084","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfb07586-ad61-436b-b288-261c96c056d8.jpg?v=1683338567","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/banished-children-of-eve-peter-quinn-9780823294084","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
