As a bartender at exclusive country clubs in Atlanta and Savannah, Cass Cassidy has perfected his art of seducing "golf widows," the wives of high-roller golfers whose only real love is the mistress that is their sport. Over cocktails, these ladies chatter about their Louis Vuitton purses, Ferragamos, designer jewelry, and who among them has had "work done," all the banter masking their boredom. Cass has the looks and the bold confidence to make some of them forget their boredom - and their husbands. In the ritzy circles of Atlanta's Pine Meadows Country Club, golf dominates the free time of many of its high rollers. Their "golf widows" are another story entirely. Country club bartender Cass Cassidy has perfected his pickup techniques, no matter the age, shape, background or bra size of the "Golf Widows" he seeks. Country club bartender Cass Cassidy realizes that true love and commitment aren't what he seeks in his "Golf Widows" affairs. For him, the conquest is nothing, the hunt all. Cass enjoys role-playing with one of his "Golf Widows." Among them are a narcotics officer, a Bavarian shepherdess, a military interrogator, and a duchess who needs to be "embalmed" by a handsome undertaker, during their rendezvous at old motels and motor lodges, where she feeds quarters to vibrating beds.

From generals to privates, Palmetto State soldiers were hurled into the Civil War's most famous battle - hundreds were killed, wounded or later suffered as prisoners of war. The life-and-death stories of these South Carolinians are here woven together here with official wartime reports, letters, newspaper accounts, and diaries.
