Young Tick Cooper is on another memorable journey—this time to Charleston in the spring of 1861. His travels by riverboat from Cincinnati to West Virginia, then by train to Baltimore, and finally by ship to Charleston, arriving at the city’s most consequential moment in its history present him with many challenges to the lessons he’s been taught and to his own principles, as he meets and confronts the behavior and notions of empty-headed, misguided, dishonest, dangerous, and unforgettably hilarious characters. Tick is forced to wrestle with the highly significant issues with which his country is presently contending. Full of fun and adventure, the book has something for readers twelve and older.
