About this audiobook

In this comedy and tragedy, 114-year-old Threadgill Pickett breaks out of an old folks home in Alabama to kill the last living Union soldier. Threadgill, a Civil War veteran, lost his twin brother in the war, needlessly, outside of any conflict, and he’s out to avenge him. Threadgill’s journey introduces him to a crazy cast of characters including a trio of KKK members, two brothers who are building a time machine, a man collecting rabid raccoons, a country music star hopeful, a multi-racial utopian society, and a female truck-driver who makes men stand in awe.
