GE True - Civil War Sniping

[ArmedGinger]

Back in the early 1960s there was a TV series called, as I know know, "GE True" where General Electric sponsored episodes based on real-life stories taken from "True, The Man's Magazine" whose trademark was only posting non-fiction adventure stories.

I have a reprint of a book "General Lee's Sharp Shooters"
An interesting read.

Why is it the universal truth that “those guys” move up in rank?
I had several like that in my two careers.
“No.” was a default....

Ronald Reagan hosted that show!

I’ll look for that episode!

Cool!

Innovators always seem to be thwarted by those afraid to leave the status quo behind.

I’m currently reading a civil war book that’s half Outlaw Josey Wales, half The Patriot ( I know, wrong war).

I won’t spoil it but a southern Gentleman farmer builds a big custom hex barrel and puts it to good use and it’s a true story! Phenomenal research and writing went into it, the author is a retired USMC Officer with time in Korea and Vietnam.

"Confederate Scout Sniper " Memoir of Berry Benson. Great read. Dispels a lot of inaccurate assumptions and legends.
