The General's Double: A Story Of The Army Of The Potomac is a historical fiction novel written by Charles King. The book is set during the American Civil War and follows the story of a young Union soldier named Frank Maynard, who bears a striking resemblance to his commanding officer, General Hugh Raymond. When the General is wounded in battle, Maynard is tasked with impersonating him in order to deceive the enemy and gain an advantage in the war effort. As Maynard takes on the role of the General, he must navigate the dangers of battlefields and the complexities of military strategy while also maintaining the illusion of being the General. Along the way, he develops relationships with other soldiers and officers, including a romance with the General's daughter, which adds a personal dimension to his mission. The General's Double: A Story Of The Army Of The Potomac offers a unique perspective on the Civil War and explores themes of duty, loyalty, and sacrifice. King's writing style is engaging and vivid, bringing the historical setting and characters to life. The book is an entertaining and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in Civil War history or military fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
