Bring the Jubilee by Ward Moore is a 1953 novel of alternate history. The point of divergence occurs when the Confederate States of America wins the Battle of Gettysburg and subsequently declares victory in the "War of Southron Independence" on July 4, 1864 after the surrender of the United States of America. The novel takes place in the impoverished United States in the mid-20th century as war looms between the Confederacy and its rival, the German Union. History takes an unexpected turn when the protagonist Hodge Backmaker, a historian, decides to travel back in time and witness the moment when the South won the war.

Very good, Stated first printing (USA), first edition thus, blue cloth with white silk screened design on front cover and white font on spine. 158 pps Ex lib with several library stamps, residue of due date plate, and that ubiquitous pouch pasted on REP. Seems that dust jacket has been cut up wiht front flap including the price pasted down on FEP and rear flap pasted on REP. (Someone should be arrested for this:)) Otherwise, no writing. Corners bumped, acceptable reading copy with charming illustrations.
