Chapter IV — OPERATIONS OF 1810
Chapter IV begins as the construction team resumes their labor, unloading the immense cast iron rails meant for the staircase.

The Landscape of Fear
The Landscape of Fear presents a vivid portrayal of the growing tensions in 1860, especially in the mind of Edmund Ruffin, a staunch advocate for Southern secession.
