A Southern Yarn
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I have read a lot of Civil War alternative fiction. This is the best I have every read. It was very understandable and frankly believeable. It was down to earth, no timetravelers or other unbeliveable BS. Mr. Richards did a wonderful job.... Ps James Longstreet was called "Peter" by his family. His soldiers even called him "Old Pete".... Great job
Correcting the 1st review of this book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Reviewer #1 scolds the author for writing "Peter Longstreet." But the family that raised James Longstreet called him "Peter."It's absurd to think that the author of the book in question didn't know that.I'm just now getting ready to read the book.
Incredibly fast paced what-if scenario about the Civil War!

Great book about the Civil War. Focuses on a battle at Ox Ford on the North Anna River in Virginia. The history of the Civil War changes dramatically from this point. R. W. Richards is an excellant author. He is my debate coach at Broad Run High School in Ashburn, Va. His books are very fast paced and fun to read.
