The Road Show opens in the bitter years after the American Civil War, when a young Confederate veteran is making his way home across a ruined Southern landscape. A chance meeting with a traveling entertainment troupe changes his plans. He joins its wandering company of performers, con artists and eccentric characters, and the journey carries him far beyond the familiar South. The troupe's road leads toward the wealthier and more worldly cities of Europe, where new temptations await. Among the company is a dazzling performer whose allure draws him further into the unpredictable life of the road. This is the first volume in a sprawling saga of wanderings and reinvention.
