Publisher Description

With droll humor and biting wit, critically acclaimed author James Whorton, Jr. pens enjoyable novels in the tradition of John Kennedy Toole and Walker Percy. In Frankland, a socially challenged young man named John H. Tolley aspires to be a prestigious historian despite his lack of a college degree. To that end, he embarks on a journey to east Tennessee to track down 17th President Andrew Johnson's secret papers, which may or may not actually exist. When he arrives, he meets a quirky group of people who inadvertently serve to obstruct him from his more scholarly pursuits.

    " The tone and the protagonist were a bit like A Confederacy of Dunces, but overall, this is not anywhere near as good a book (what is?). Still, it was a mildly amusing read. I actually found all the info on Andrew Johnson's presidency to be pretty interesting. "
