Man, this is some damn fine writing. Compelling. I’m not big on the Civil War, but I do dig tales of how everyday life was once upon a time. The Americana of it. How our cities used to be nothing more than big towns. You paint such wonderfully vivid pictures. I was sitting right there on that train, looking out in the countryside. Thanks again for doing this. For sharing your words. Already looking forward to part III.
from part one! I really like the switch from Deviney’s story in the past to your own experience with a thief in the present. Makes the exploration of thievery more relevant. I find this tale fascinating as I am obsessed with trying to find out personal details about my Civil War era ancestors. I’m really digging this piece as installments. Looking forward to the next one. Good work!

Thank you so much for the kind words, Tom. I'm really happy that you are liking one. I'm so invested in writing it/ it means so much to me.
It reads like a dream.
Great continuation
