C. L. Gray

Throw Away the Scabbard C. L. Gray

The turning point of the South's desire to create a new nation was the death of Stonewall Jackson. Without his military genius and leadership, the South was at a disadvantage to the economic power of the Union. In this alternate history, Jackson survives Chancellorsville. With Jackson leading his Second Corps in an invasion of the North, the war shifts from the Virginia wilderness to the Pennsylvania countryside. As the Army of Northern Virginia wins a stunning victory on the banks of the Susquehanna, General Ulysses S. Grant comes east to drive the Confederates from Northern soil. But when Grant fails to dislodge Lee's army, President Lincoln risks all to win the war and restore the Union.
