Taylor Polites was born in Huntsville, the basis for the town of Albion in this book, and researched this novel since he was fifteen years old and volunteered to work at an historic home. Polites became obsessed with the Southern experience during the Civil War, read diaries, memoirs, and letters from the period, and imagined and mapped out the town of Albion, much like William Faulkner created his Yoknapatawpha County.
