The cast is drawn from every stratum: a likeable and laconic Irish-American hustler, an ambitious and larcenous Yankee stockbroker, an immigrant serving girl, a beautiful and mysterious mulatto actress and her white minstrel lover as well as a cluster of real-life characters, including scheming, ever-pompous General George McClellan; fiery, fierce Archbishop \"Dagger John\" Hughes; and fast-declining musical genius Stephen Foster. The fates of these characters coalesce in the cataclysm of the Draft Riots, as a pivotal period in the history of New York and the nation is painfully, vividly, magically bought to life.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46310985400471,"sku":"9780823294084","price":1943.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780823294084.webp?v=1767702117","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/banished-children-of-eve-a-novel-of-civil-war-new-york-9780823294084","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
