This is a work of historical fiction. Apart from
the well-known actual people, events, and locales
that figure in the narrative, all names, characters,
places, and incidents are the products of the
author's imagination or are used fictitiously. Any
resemblance to current events or locales, or to
living persons, is entirely coincidental.
