The Bigamist: A love story Jim Mitcham

The Bigamist is a family story told of my grandfather, several greats back, who served in the Confederate Army. He was reported killed in the Battle of Antietam in Maryland, though he was only wounded and spent the rest of the war in a Yankee prison camp in Chicago. When he returned home, he discovered his wife, who had though him dead, had remarried for protection of herself and the children. The results and the remainder of the story have been created through my imagination. I hope you enjoy reading this story half as much as I did writing it.
