The Days of Shoddy is a historical novel written by Henry Morford and published in 1863. The story is set during the American Civil War in 1861, and follows the lives of several characters who are caught up in the conflict. The title refers to the practice of selling poorly made goods to the Union Army during the war, known as shoddy. The novel explores themes of loyalty, duty, and sacrifice as the characters navigate the challenges of war. The main character is a Union soldier named John Gray, who is torn between his loyalty to his country and his love for a Southern woman named May. The novel also features several other characters, including a Confederate soldier named Harry, a Union general named Grant, and a journalist named Frank. Throughout the book, Morford vividly depicts the horrors of war, including battles, disease, and the emotional toll on soldiers and civilians alike. He also portrays the political and social tensions of the time, including the debate over slavery and the role of women in society. Overall, The Days of Shoddy is a gripping and realistic portrayal of the American Civil War, and a powerful commentary on the human cost of war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
