Just in time for Christmas

LET US FIGHT IT OUT

Has been released!

Brief Synoposis

The saga shifts west as General James Longstreet assumes command of the Department of Mississippi. His mission: stop the fall of Vicksburg and prevent the Confederacy from being split in two. His opponent is none other than his old friend, Ulysses S. Grant. But when President Lincoln summons Grant east to assume command of the Union war effort, a new and dangerous nemesis arises in his place. Sherman! Now Longstreet must gather all the fighting men he can in order to prevent Sherman from reaching his goal - Atlanta, by summer's end.

Let Us Fight It Out is the second book of a trilogy that provides the exciting answer to the Civil War's most enduring question: What if Stonewall Jackson had survived Chancellorsville?

Just had to brag!

I’ve already started the third. I have a Jeb Stuart biography in the pipeline as well.

I’ll be sure to check it out . . . sounds most informative.

If Jackson had survived, the first thing that would have happened would have been a victory at Gettysburg. Unlike Early, Jackson would have immediately occupied the high ground, and the battle would have been a replay of Marye’s Heights.

And if that had happened, Gettysburg would have been another minor battle of the campaign. The US Army would have found better ground, maybe at Pipe Creek, where they'd already surveyed defensive positions. Lee was going to have to attack at some point--the US Army was between him and Virginia.

Congratulations carton253!

[carton253]

Thank you! I've come a long way since you read that first chapter. 60 pages long and all dialogue.

Thank you for your help and encouragement along the way!

[stainlessbanner]

It’s a real pleasure to watch your career progress my friend!

Shhhhh! You're only supposed to congratulate her on the book.

Read the book then comment on it...how 'bout that?

Rally your boys and write a book - here's some ideas:

• "Wlat's Cut 'n Paste Library"
• "Banned Again"
• "Why I Hate Sweet Tea and Grits"

[carton253]

Thank you!

[achilles2000]

I think you are asserting something that is possible, but doubtful. I believe Meade would have been pushed to attack because Lee was in PA, and he would have suffered at least as bad a defeat as Burnside at Fredricksburg. The political fallout for Lincoln would have been very damaging also. In any event, it’s all speculation - albeit, interesting speculation.

[carton253]

That’s why you should read my novels. There are so many answers to the question, but I poured alot of research into Jackson’s own invasion plan.

[mojitojoe]

Dearie can’t do that. It’s called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and dearie is eaten up with it.

Congratulations on your book, I look forward to reading it.

[Lee'sGhost]

BWAHAhahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

[Lee'sGhost]

Congratulations!

As a fellow writer I know what it takes to write a novel. It is hard work. I have the utmost respect for those who get published.

[carton253]

Thank you! You’ll have to tell me if you like it.

[carton253]

Thank you. Writing the first draft is a labor of love. Turning that draft into a novel that can be published is just down right hard work.

[jessduntno]

BWAHAhahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

I’ll see that horse laugh and raise you a guffaw.

Pass, thanks. But I should point out I wasn't commenting on the book to begin with. I responded to a post by Achilles2000, carton253 responded to me, I replied to her, and she got pissed off after that. Nowhere did I criticize either of her books. But regardless, I'll be glad to take my leave and let y'all have your mutual admiration Dixie love-fest without further interruptions from me.
