Title: Great story but.......
Review: I must admit that I was thorougly enjoying this book until I got to the part where Buford was killed south of Gettysburg. (He actually died in December of 1863 from and illness.) I was flabbergasted by the audacity of anyone who would try to improve on the actual history of the Battle of Gettysburg. There could never have been a more compelling story written that would trump what actually took place there and to try and pull it off was disheartening. No battle of Little Round Top, are you kidding me? No final charge by Pickett, are you kidding me? I do not fully understand the idea behind alternative history. Don't we have enough of that going on in our public schools now? History is what happened, not what you wished would have happened. Come on Newt and William. I expected much more from talented and brilliant individuals like you.
Is the review positive or negative?
