Описание
"The Spy Who Saved the Union" – The tale of the amateur spy who single-handed wrecked the greatest treason conspiracy this country has ever known!
"Lincoln’s Shootin’ Fools" – The modern Pentagon wasn’t even a gleam in its parent’s eye when one of the world’s leading engineering firms figured out how simple it really was to win the Civil War. Then Commander-in-Chief, General Winfield Scott, issued his pronunciamento: “The muttle-loader is, has been, and always will be the American soldier’s prime weapon. Breech-loaders are not practical for military usage. They would spoil our troops by allowing them to fire too fast, thus wasting ammunition. ” What that stupid statement did to an angry man by the name of Hiram Berdan is history, but not quite the kind of history they print in textbooks for juniors. . . . ”
"Heller on Horseback" – The chances are very good that Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest never said anything as stupid as “the fustest with the mostest. ” What he actually did was win battles against impossible odds…and how he managed to win those battles is a thing we don’t usually talk about in polite Southern society.
"The Devil’s Errand Boy" – Lafayette Baker had every opportunity to become the most popular General on the Union side of the war. Then he created the U. S. Secret Service as a tool of spite and blackmail, and turned the assassination of Abraham Lincoln into a pointless mystery that will probably never be solved. Was he or wasn’t he paid for his sins by the same sinister clique that employed John Wilkes Booth?
