Dixie World — John H. Cary

Dixie World begins at the conclusion of the Civil War, and follows The Adventures of an Immortal Being named David Greene, who has lived for more than 60,000 years, accumulating a mass wealth of knowledge. He wakes up in a cave after hibernating in a deep sleep for the past few decades to begin his quest. Journey along as David lives, loves, battles pirates, Japanese warships, giant squids and other enemies while creating other immortals who will join him on a quest to establish "the Dixie Way," a lifestyle of discipline, honor, respect, peace and truth. His hibernation survival is explained, as well as the discovery of his wife and a saber-toothed cat in the cave. These immortals share a thirst for knowledge and are incredibly fit. Can their plan to create a peaceful world populated by a "Greene Team" become reality, or will modern politics destroy what has been 600 centuries in the making?
