‘Unreconstructed’ is the story of an unapologetic former Confederate Cavalry Officer, Captain Thomas Jefferson Fortner. Tom comes home to Georgia after the surrender at Appomattox to a land of devastation. His family had been murdered at the hands of a Union Colonel during Sherman’s march to the sea. His fiancée killed outside Richmond. His farm burned to the ground.
Despite all of this tragedy, he tries to rebuild and start anew. Then comes Reconstruction, the punishment of the South by Yankee radicals, adding insult to the injury of the war. By 1868 he can tolerate no more and leaves the home of his forefathers and goes west to the Colorado territory. But the war is not ready to be left behind.
What follows is a story of revenge, adventure, romance and friendship in the old west of America. Tom must face one more battle before his war will truly end.
