My 2nd book of the Wrathful Empathies trilogy takes place at that forgotten period of American history when it really looked like a 14th colony would get established. It was called Vandalia. My God it would have been great! A mountain state like no other. Home to Scots Irish refugees with enough hollers and rugged ridges to give them privacy. Equally important, I believe it would have been slave free. This could have tipped the balance of history and avoided a bloody civil war.
