A New Birth of Freedom SIGNED at BOOK EXPO AMERICA

Online, May 23, 2010 (Newswire.com) - WHAT IF YOU COULD CHANGE HISTORY?

WHAT IF THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG DID'T HAPPEN?

"Mr. Hay," Lincoln pointed to the enclosed message still in Pinkerton's hands, "you received this message from Mr. Blair an hour before General Hooker actually wrote it."

"Well, Mr. Blair? What about the rebels?" Lincoln looked squarely at him.

"Blair took a deep breath. "I will need their cannons sufficiently concentrated as well."

"Oh come now, Mr Blair. Ye be insane!" Pinkerton jumped up and raised his arms to Lincoln.

"Gentlemen, you all were convinced by my demonstration, were you not?"

"We're not on a battlefield." Stanton protested, his head shaking. "There's no blank wall out there for you to use to show them your maps. And may I remind you that we are in a war? With the very man you want to assist you!"

Lincoln raised his hand. "A rebellion, Mars...a rebellion!"

"Yes, yes." Stanton grumbled.

"However, that doesn't answer the question about Lee. Even if we were to convince Meade, what of Lee? " Lincoln's eyes bore into Blair.

Blair locked gazes with Lincoln. "If I can talk with Lee, I WILL convince him to cooperate."
