Giants In The Earth (Ole Rolvag)
The Gibson Family Saga (Anna Jacobs)
The series covers the years 1820-1865 mainly in Lancashire, England. The story of a very strong woman and her determination to make good in the face of many odds, plus her 8 siblings (their stories being interwoven with hers). Its set in a mill town, but focuses more on the shopkeepers, doctor, minister of the church, and other business persons than on the mills, which makes it a bit different from the usual northern tale. The fifth book in the series also includes America during the Civil War. Note: The series was condensed by Readers Digest USA in 1995. For more information on the series, click here.

The Golden Rose (Denée Cody)
The Golden Warrior (Hope Muntz)
The tale of the epic tug-of-war between Harold Godwinson and William the Bastard Duke of Normandy for the throne of England which culminated in the bloody and tragic battle of 1066. Other authors have tried this including Georgette Heyer (The Conqueror), Parke Godwin (Lord of the Sunset), and, most recently, Julian Rathbone (The Last English King), but none have ever done it better, or nearly as well, as Ms. Muntz. Though now out of print, the book can be had in used book shops if one gets lucky. Certainly one of the best historical novels ever written.
Gone With The Wind (Margaret Mitchell)
A classic novel that defined the South for decades. So powerful a book, that some of the names, images, and situations have become clichéd.
The Guns Of The South (Harry Turtledove)
Alternative history. A fascinating tale of what might have happened if time-travelers from the 21st-Century supplied thousands of AK-47s to General Robert E. Lees Confederates.
