Short Story

Bring the Jubilee


In a world where the South won the “War for Southern Independence,” Hodge Backmaker, a northern country bumpkin with academic leanings, makes his way to New York City where he becomes disillusioned, ponders the notions of time and free will, and eventually goes to a communal think-tank where time travel offers him the chance to visit the key Gettysburg battle of the war.
I could say that time is an illusion and that all events occur simultaneously.

Bring the Jubilee


The novella version of this story appeared first, but I don’t know which was written first. Both are well worth reading, but my preference is for the novella which tells the same story in a more direct fashion.
I could say that time is a convention and that all events occur simultaneously.
