Over the last 25 years I have read this trilogy three times and I have been waiting very impatiently for an audio version. The tragedy of the Civil War is magnified as these two intimate companions choose sides, wish each other luck, and go to war. After that conflict the two friends are followed throughout the tumultuous 1850's, right up to the firing on Fort Sumter and the start of the Civil War. Despite this, Main and Hazard become close friends during their time at West Point, as well during their service in the Mexican American war. The backgrounds of these two men are fraught with seemingly insurmountable differences. Hazard belongs to the industrial class of the mighty North, while Main is a member of the Southern caste of slave holding plantation owners. ![]() This first book tells the story of the close friendship the develops between George Hazard Of Pennsylvania and Orry Main of South Carolina. North and South is the first novel in John Jakes' trilogy of the American Civil War. ![]()
