Orry Main from South Carolina and George Hazard from Pennsylvania forge a lasting bond while training at the United States Military Academy at West Point.
In the years leading up to the Civil War, one enduring friendship embodies the tensions of a nation. In North and South, the first volume of John Jakes’s acclaimed and sweeping saga, a friendship is threatened by the divisions of the Civil War.
Two families are united-and torn apart-by the Civil War in these three dramatic novels by the #1 New York Times–bestselling master of the historical epic.
