Longarm has to rein in some rustlers… Longarm tracks some rustled army horses to Jefferson Boyd—who swears he has government bills of sale. Longarm knows that he’s guilty, but Boyd will almost certainly beat the charge because there’s almost no way to prove these are the same stolen horses. But when someone slips Boyd strychnine with his jailhouse meal, he ends up taking a permanent after-dinner nap. Now, Longarm is not only after a gang of mere rustlers but the killers of his material witness—who’ll turn anyone in their way into dead meat…
Originally published in 1915, when Jennings Cropper Wise was commandant of the Virginia Military Institute, The Long Arm of Lee has never been surpassed as an authoritative study of the Confederate artillery in the Civil War. Volume I describes the organization and tactics of the field batteries of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and their performance in famous battles, including those at Bull Run, Malvern Hill, Cedar Mountain, Harper's Ferry, Sharpsburg, and Fredericksburg. It ends with the bitter winter interlude before the Chancellorsville campaign of the spring of 1863. Volume 2 of Wise's history, also available as a Bison Book, takes up the harrowing events stretching from Chancellorsville to Appomattox. In his introduction, Gary W. Gallagher addresses some of the myths exposed by Wise, touching on the persistent under-estimation of the artillery's role in winning battles.
