To Appomattox is a historical fiction series by Michael Frost Beckner about the American Civil War. The three books, published in 2024 and 2025, carry the subtitle “A Nation Divided” and are organized into numbered episodes, reflecting Beckner’s television writing background. The episodic structure gives each book multiple distinct chapters of the larger story.
The series covers the Civil War through a format that blends novel-writing with the pacing and structure of episodic television. Beckner’s experience as a TV creator shows in the way the story is broken into discrete segments. The series joins his World War II fiction (Berlin Mesa) in showing his interest in American and European military history.
