Synopsis
What if General William Tecumseh Sherman had been captured and held for ransom by the defending Confederate forces in Atlanta in July 1864? What, then, would have been the outcome of the War Between the States? Dr. Richard H. Sams poses this intriguing question in his novel Atlanta Is Ours: The Plot to Capture Sherman. The story begins as Katie Houston, who lives outside Atlanta just north of Decatur, Georgia, finds herself in the path of Sherman's advancing army. The general is planning his campaign to take Atlanta and march to the sea when Katie accidentally encounters him near her home. When she conveys the critical information of Sherman's whereabouts, she triggers a chain of events that would have altered the course of history.

About the Author
An international consultant in petroleum exploration, this is Dr. Sams's first historical novel. In addition to writing, he teaches a short course entitled "The Early History of Druid Hills" in Emory University's continuing education program and lectures on the area's history for the DeKalb History Center in Decatur.
Review
"Finally! A what if Civil War scenario that does not hinge on a Confederate victory at the Battle of Gettysburg. In this high stakes historical thriller, Richard Sams takes readers into the western theater of the war. Using real people, places, and events, he spins a fast-paced tale of what might have been if the Confederate army defending Atlanta had captured William Tecumseh Sherman." --David Evans, author of Sherman's Horsemen and numerous articles on the Atlanta Campaign
"Dr. Sams has undertaken the rather difficult task of writing a novel that did not actually happen, but with adequate historical background to make it believable to the reader. It is quite provocative, timely, and an overall good read." --William R. Scaife, author of The Campaign for Atlanta and instructor of Atlanta's and Georgia's Civil War history at Emory University.
"Historical relity with a fascinating fictional twist. A most timely novel for our nation and Atlanta in light of our recent acquisition of General Sherman's actual Atlanta Campaign orders." --Gordon L. Jones, Historian, Atlanta History Center
