The Ghosts of Antietam Book PDF Summary
What if? Abraham Lincoln dies only a few days after becoming president. Vice President Hannibal Hamlin takes over the office and then hastens to Charleston, South Carolina, in a desperate attempt to avert the Civil War. Accompanying him as military advisor is a brilliant young general. The Ghosts of Antietam is an adventure in alternate history that takes a fresh look at the Civil War through the eyes of one of its most maligned characters, General George B. McClellan. The novel poses questions: Was the bloody conflict truly inevitable? Was McClellan a traitor or a hero? Would Hannibal Hamlin have made a better president than Abraham Lincoln? At Charleston, George McClellan saves Hamlin from death at the hands of a rabid secessionist and enjoys a vexing flirtation with the beautiful Mary Chesnut. After seeing a tragic example of what the Civil War would be, McClellan urges Hamlin to make a courageous political maneuver, which lures Jefferson Davis back into Union and dooms the Confederacy. But later, McClellan is shocked into the realization of an alternate world in which the war actually did take place. George McClellan now relives his wartime odyssey of conflict with Lincoln and the devious, vindictive secretary of war Edwin Stanton. The Ghosts of Antietam is an adventure of conflicting realities in which President Hamlin ends slavery without war and George McClellan attempts to save Lincoln from assassination, with surprising results. Or as the ghost of Edwin Stanton says to Vice President Richard Nixon, Its not the same old bullshit they put in the history books.
