About this product

Product Information

In Look Away, Dixieland Vermont-native James Twitchell sets out from his home in Florida on the inauguration day of America's first black president to find the "real" South and to try to figure out the truth about his illustrious ancestor, Marshall Harvey Twitchell -- a carpetbagger and a victim of the Coushatta Massacre (having both his arms shot off), which made the front page of the New York Times in 1873. Twitchell travels from Georgia's Okefenokee Swamp across Alabama and Mississippi to Coushatta, Louisiana in a RV. As he drives through the heart of Dixie, Twitchell sorts through the prejudices he learned from his northern rearing. Ultimately, he uncovers facts about his great-grandfather and his family's past while revealing some of the differences and similarities between the North and South that ultimately define us as nation.

Book arrived earlier than expected and was packaged well. Book was in better condition than described and seller was very helpful when I had questions. Best of all, price was extremely reasonable. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had with any seller on Ebay.

WOW! The condition is incredible for the price I paid - I thank the seller for accepting my offer as I'm poor and need all the help I can get in obtaining the more expensive otogizoshi & other medieval & ancient Japanese Literature that I'm looking for, so this seller really was generous with the price and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. Packaged super safe, really fast shipping, and the book is like new, so much better than the Ad's description! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SELLER FOR SURE!!

    Is why I bought the book for my brother. I have not read it, so can't rate content.

    I cannot recommend book at this because I have not read it. Happy with the price; synopsis of content is compelling. But actually I bought it because of the title.
