"THE GOLDEN DAWN" is published by Generisis, PO Box 3722, Phenix City, Alabama 36868.

Copyright 2001. Whereas real people appear and historical events do occur, it is important to remember that this novel is a work of fiction, moreover, that it is recalled by an elderly, frequently forgetful narrator whose recollection of events is fair, but whose remembrance of things past has rather deteriorated. A few such inconsistencies are noted in the References page.
