I am a student of the American Civil War.
I thoroughly enjoyed this alternate history - the first volume in a trilogy.
Starting vol 2 today.
Excellent characterization - I got to know the people involved.

Each chapter has footnotes, most of which are real but some - denoted by an asteris

excellent!
Now we're fighting the bloody British in Charleston harbor. Good civil war era alternative history. Can't wait until the next one.

Excellent story and characterization. Some distressing and avoidable typos, (and the dreaded "to be continued" ending) but otherwise great!
DNF at 9%. Not my cup of tea.
