Читать книгу Pale Blue Light - Skip Tucker - Страница 7

This is not a history book, but historical fiction. While I have described battles as accurately as possible, there are inconsistencies in the interest of storyline and movement. I own them.

It is also likely that I have wronged one of history’s great generals, A. P. Hill. There is possibility, however small, that I am right.

There is authentic intrigue. I found once, in a tenth grade literature book published in the twenties, an account of that night in Chancellorsville by someone in the reconnaissance party who described “a shadowy presence” bent over the stricken Stonewall. I never relocated it.

Finally, this is not about the Civil War. It is an espionage, spy thriller set in the War Between The States. Importantly, one of my goals is to humanize the legendary Jackson and to provide a fun, thrilling read and ride. I hope folks enjoy it.
