Opis

This is a story about the impossibility of the real Robert E Lee being somehow transported in time to the present, on the eve of the last day of the Battle of Gettysburg. He meets John Buford, and together they grapple with the impossiblity of it. Eventually they resign themselves to it, and even embrace it. Lee reveals many personal things to John that he never told anyone before, including a romance while he was stationed in Texas before the war. Lee askes for information on the conclusion of the battle. John tells him, but becomes concerned that Lee may be able to return to the battle and change his tactics to change defeat as we know it into victory for the South. The story concludes with an interesting and even plausible revelation as to how this time travel encounter could have actually happened. The author expands on Einstein's theory of relativity, to the possibility that history, too, might be relative. Just as time itself is relative.
