商品簡介
Icie Jones, born in upstate South Carolina just after the Civil War ended, tells her story and those of the people around her through journal entries. Her travels take her down the Savannah River and to the 1901 Charleston Exposition where she meets Beautiful Jim Key, the world's smartest horse, and a young Nancy Columbia, Inuit star of stage and screen. Icie shares a fascinating, lively look at a complex era and attempts to make sense out of the randomness of life.
