Title: "It's all my fault."
Review: Historians say that history is always written by the victors so this historical novel is a good southern perspective of the battle. My age group is busy gathering facts so I think this book may be too misleading. For example in the last part of the book, General George Gordon Meade is killed by Wade Hampton supposedly along Pipe Creek after the disasterous defeat at Union Mills. Meade's body is carried back to the confederate camp where General Lee hears the good news. But according to another reference book General George Gordon Meade was an American general whose dates are 1815 to 1872. The defeat at Union Mills in northern Maryland was within days of the July 1-3, 1863 battle at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. But I loved the dialogue in the story. It shows the North slowly beginning to produce generals and an army to defeat the South. The characters also tell the hardships of total war that both sides experienced. The dialogue catches the reader and sounds very natural.
