Publisher Description
When history teacher Fritz Russell walks through his classroom door, he finds himself in the company of General Robert E. Lee - over 150 years in the past.
Fritz finds his sudden time trip to the past both a gift and a chance for great adventure. But when a portal opens to the Oval Office, he realizes that the mysterious gate could also be put to a more serious purpose.
When the president hires him to help with national security, Fritz doesn't believe there is any danger in traveling across time and space. But will his own government consider him expendable if he cannot solve the mystery of the portal?

Good read
I gave this a 4* rating due to some long explanations that I call filler talk around food, other than those the book moved along well and was a pleasant fun read
Time is not an enigma but an adventure
I am drawn toward science fiction and do enjoy the overlap between our history, fantasy and a leap of faith to the belief that an author has foreseen a possible future. Stern has drafted a light-hearted tome that captivated my imagination with likable characters and an intriguing plot. I was, however, a little disappointed that Koppler or maybe other mysterious G-men, foreign agents didn’t try to disrupt the events in play. Another weak spot concerned the rescue, which seemed too trivial and lacked detail. Perhaps preventing Koppler from engaging in some nefarious activity like kidnapping Linda to force Fritz to do his bidding to change history, maybe to take over the presidency would have been more exciting. That story line would need more development or could be a sequel.
Loved it!
This was a well crafted story! The author has to be a history buff, and the baseball games were a genius way to teach. Will be buying the next book!
