The ‘Different’ People
Description
An anthropologist stumbles across a letter written during the Civil War indicating that a group of veterans may have discovered the secret of immortality. In order to validate the information, he tries to locate the whereabouts of the soldiers named in the missive.
A scientist who studies people finds an old Civil War letter that suggests some soldiers might have found a way to live forever. To prove if this is true, he searches for the men mentioned in the letter.
“Bick” Bixby discovers an old letter written by a soldier to his wife about the special reason why he and only a few others were returning from the Civil War unharmed. His plan was to find a place where he and his family could start their own village in total seclusion. Now, more than a century later, Bick wants to find that village and learn the secret this small band of settlers discovered so long ago.
