Scenes are set carefully with attention to accurate research of the low country of South Carolina as well as our Nation's Capital circa 1867-77. The People's Standard History of the United States written by Edward S. Ellis and published by the Woolfall Company have provided background materials, maps of the period and needed information on how the federal government was organized and functioned during this period of history.  Two additional sources were used for the chapters on the US Naval Academy: Sorley, History of the Naval Academy, published in 1876 and Benjamin, the US Naval Academy, published in 1900.
