Congrats on your book. What do you think of the other alternative history of the CW, wherein Lee goes west and relieves Vicksburg?
Actually, I think that would be a fabulous idea. So many possibilities when it comes to the Civil War. I think it is great fun to explore them.
Someone asked Longstreet for his opinion about the 1863 campaign, and he actually championed that idea -- which I'm sure had other proponents as well.
It would be interesting to know how many times those scenarios have been war-gamed out in credible gaming systems, and what the usual outcome was.
