Read "Guns of the South". By far my favourite. I do like Harry Turtledove, although I haven't forced myself to read his latest works. I enjoy alternate history however he does go on...and on...and on.
eg. in one of his universes he has a book set 20 years after the Confederate States wins the civil war. Then a trilogy 30 years after that which covers world war 1, then he does the depression, now he is doing ww2 all in the same universe. Its as bad as his neverending series on aliens attacking earth during ww2.
