By now, we are into 1864, but Harry Turtledove reveals a fondness for one of the real Civil War's neglected generals, George Thomas. In his Detinan Civil War, the South is at last, because of its industrial might, grinding the slave owning North Down. As it was in the Prime timeline, (ours) it's about time.

His first two novels, Wereblood and Werenight, were show more published in 1979 under the pseudonym Eric G. Iverson because his editor did not think people would believe that Turtledove was his real name. He used this name until 1985 when he published Herbig-Haro and And So to Bed under his real name. He has received numerous awards including the Homer Award for Short Story for Designated Hitter in 1990, the John Esthen Cook Award for Southern Fiction for Guns of the Southand in 1993, and the Hugo Award for Novella for Down in the Bottomlands in 1994.
