Stonewall Goes West: A Novel of The Civil War and What Might Have Been
ProBoxing-Fans.com is glad to share the news that one of our featured columnists, Richard Thomas, has published a novel set in the Civil War. The book has just been released and is currently available for sale on Amazon.com, in both paperback and Kindle eBook editions. Read on for more details of the book.
Stonewall Jackson’s death at the Battle of Chancellorsville is the great “what if” of the Civil War. In Stonewall Goes West, the first installment in a trilogy of novels, the fabled Jackson survives his wounding at Chancellorsville in 1863 to assume command of the South’s Army of Tennessee. In a final bid to reverse the failing fortunes of the Confederacy, a maimed but unbowed General Jackson confronts not only Sherman’s Union armies on the western front, but his own recalcitrant generals. Stonewall Goes West gives the classic “what if” a fresh, new answer in a fast-paced tale, rich with authentic detail, filled with battle and strategy, and populated by the Civil War’s most colorful personalities.
