I have Civil War aficionados in my list of friends and some cousins—one cousin who writes books on Civil War memorabilia. I have several copies of this novel to purchase and send out. Good job!

You will have to read my biography (now in process) to find out why I believe Stuart followed his orders.

[carton253]

Do you mind pinging the Military list for me.

[Sawdring]

Thanks for the laugh on your #2.

[GRRRRR]

Next...what if JFK had lived???

Marilyn Monroe as FLOTUS??

[carton253]

Just a ping to let you know.

[carton253]

That would be a very interesting novel.

[carton253]

Thank you!

It was Lee’s first big failure...he could have taken the high ground upon arrival, but waited instead. Even then, it took the admittedly courageous actions of Joshua Chamberlain and the Twentieth Maine to close the line insuring the Union victory. A victory for the South at Gettysburg could have been the straw that broke the camel’s back for the North. More’s the pity.

[Sawdring]

Congratulations. Hope you sell a ton.

[carton253]

You and me both.

[carton253]

I know that our arguments get heated and sometimes more than that... but I want you to know that my novel has been published. And both sides are fairly represented.

I love the Union officers as I wrote them.

There were so many failures at Gettysburg by Lee it was bordering on insanity. Longstreet seemed to be the only sane Confederate leader there, but of course Lee just had to keep sending his men up the aptly named Cemetery Ridge.

[carton253]

Or so Longstreet would have you believe.

I hope to start my own publishing company dedicated to all things Civil War.

Shouldn't that be The War Between the States or even better, The War of Northern Aggression? Just askin'.

I think I'll order one to give my hubby on Father's Day.

“Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees.” Stonewall’s last words.

Alternate Generals 111 edited by Turtledove,pretty good

Love alternative history stories

Gonna buy carton253 Civil war novel

[carton253]

My interest is the Army of Northern Virginia, but I don’t have a dog in the fight. I find honor on both sides.

[carton253]

You are wonderful.

Stonewall is the lead character in the novel, of course. Lee and Stuart in strong support. On the Union side, it’s Grant with Reynolds and Sheridan in support.
