It is 1851. The United States have been at war with one another for nearly a year, with nine states* fighting to sustain their right to secede from the Union. Watching nervously from the sidelines and dominating the northern and western portions of the continent is the Kingdom of Canada. It is to Canada's winter capital, New Orleans, that the Confederate Captain Charles Stewart is sent by his government to assist in the negotiating of a treaty of recognition between Canada and the CSA. More than negotiation is going to happen, though...For whatever reason, Michael was never able to get the novel published. I don't think that was due to any fault of the novel, which had an interesting and well-developed setting and was at least as readable as most of the alt-history novels being published.
Micheal has now decided to serialize it on his blog, Quipu, so you can now read it in installments and I encourage you to do so. If you like his writing, follow the blog as there will be more following Dixie's Land, or buy his historical fantasy novel, A Poisoned Prayer.
