Blue and Gray Weekly, No. 2

1904 · 36 pages

This 1904 pulp magazine issue features "The Blue and the Gray Weekly," a Civil War serial by Lieutenant Harry Lee. The story follows Captain Will Prentiss of the Virginia Grays, a Confederate company composed of young soldiers from prominent Southern families. Young picket Briscoe challenges Confederate spy Dupee at the Potomac River lines; after a struggle, Dupee gains access to Captain Prentiss's tent bearing contradictory orders from General Beauregard—first directing Prentiss to Edwards Ferry for reconnaissance, then countermanding those orders. Colonel English initially arrests Prentiss for refusing an order, but releases him upon seeing Beauregard's dispatches. The narrative includes hints that Dupee may be a Union spy, and introduces Captain Jack Clark of the Fairdale Blues, Prentiss's former Northern friend now an enemy. A mysterious detailed map of the Confederate encampment is discovered in Prentiss's tent, suggesting espionage.
