With the exception of Captain Simms, who is based in essence on the character of my great-grandfather, Captain A. C. Card, the characters in this book are products of the author's imagination. Where historical characters are used they are given their real names.

PREFACE
When the University of Alabama Press informed me it wanted to reprint It's Always Three O'Clock I was amazed to realize that twenty-eight years had passed since this book was published. I re-read the book. I wondered if in the temporal world of yuppies, stock market mergers, and electronic preachers it still had relevance. My conclusion was that, given the book's premise, it did.
When I began writing this book in 1959 we were on the brink of the sixties. Space, Woodstock, and Hey, Hey, LBJ were in our immediate future. JFK was my generation's hope. But the book isn't about that time. It is about my mother's generation: the flappers and sheiks of the twenties who had in their future 1929, breadlines, and FDR.
But, as the title implies, no matter into which generation or which segment of history we are born, we all have our heroes and villains, our gods and devils. As F. Scott Fitzgerald said, in a dark night of the soul, it truly is always three o'clock in the morning with all its attendant fears. Still, dawn comes; the name of the game is survival, and despair remains the ultimate sin.
