The Seeker
“Once a few shots are fired, those Johnny Rebs in the South will see the futility of their position and come back into the Union like whipped dogs with their tails between their legs.” Sam Johnson sounded sure of his words.Adam watched Sam pace in front of him as he spoke.

Sam had no problem carrying dozens of story ideas for Harper’s Weekly in his head all at once, and he often jumped between them without warning.Something he did now—to the chagrin of his secretary whose charge it was to record whatever was said if Sam deemed it important.
