Jackson Speed at the High Tide
Overview
PART ROGUE. PART SOLDIER. ALL TROUBLE.
How does a scoundrel survive America's Bloodiest Battle?
Any way he can.
History remembers Jackson Speed as a hero.
Jackson Speed remembers things a little differently.
It's the summer of 1863, and Jackson Speed has finally found the perfect place to sit out the Civil War: A peaceful little Pennsylvania town where a beautiful blonde named Jenny Rakestraw is more than happy to keep him company.
Unfortunately for Ol' Speedy, the town is Gettysburg.
Two great armies are about to turn Speed's romantic refuge into the bloodiest battlefield in American history.
Before the fighting is over, Jackie Speed will shift his loyalties whenever convenient, follow Colonel William Oates and his Alabama Rebels onto the heights of Little Round Top, flee Devil Dan Sickles when he sends the entire Union Third Corps after Speed, and find himself in the company of the greatest generals of the Civil War, almost all of whom he despises.
All Speed wants is to survive three days of battle and get back to Jenny's welcoming arms.
But somehow, in the midst of all the bloodshed, cowardice, confusion, and calamity, Jackson Speed is about to perform a deed that will earn him America's highest military honor - from Abraham Lincoln himself.
From the rocky slopes of Little Round Top to the thunder of Confederate cannon on Seminary Ridge, Jackson Speed at the High Tide is a rollicking historical adventure filled with legendary generals, desperate escapes, dangerous women, and wicked humor.
The history is true. The fiction is fun. And Jackson Speed is the narrator American History has been waiting for.
