In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam.
It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

If you loved a book by an indie author, shout about it!
If you loved a book by *this* indie author, shouting will be insufficient. Please hire a skywriting plane, produce some fliers, perhaps lobby your elected representatives to make it required reading, it is tough out here people
