Amerifree

By Alan Mowbray

Amerifree is a dark satire that explores the intertwined fates of two young men against the backdrop of the American Civil War, beginning with the draft riots of New York City in 1863 and ending with the siege of Petersburg and Richmond two years later.

Told in alternating chapters, the narrative follows Dan Tower, a privileged New Yorker who avoids conscription by paying for a substitute, and Declan Haggerty, the impoverished Irish immigrant who takes Dan's place in the Union army. As Dan enjoys a life of comfort and excess, Declan endures the brutal realities of war, fighting in some of its bloodiest battles.

Their fates converge in a final moment as the two men pass each other on the streets of New York - strangers bound forever by an unspoken connection, yet exchanging only a fleeting glance before continuing on their separate paths.
