Blue and Gray Weekly, No. 7

1904 · 36 pages

This issue of *Blue and Gray Weekly* for September 23, 1904 contains the opening installment of "On Special Service" by Lieutenant Harry Lee, a Civil War serial. Captain Jack Clark of the Fairdale Blues—a youth company from New York, all under nineteen—petitions President Lincoln for dangerous duty. Lincoln and General McDowell task Clark with capturing Ward Howell, a notorious guerrilla and outlaw commanding a thousand men in Black Swamp near Guilford. The operation promises certain peril. Clark accepts and leads his company toward the swamp. En route, dense fog provides cover as they witness Howell's raiders passing nearby but cannot yet engage. Later, encountering a Confederate column that spots them, Clark's Blues deploy and retreat into timber to avoid being overwhelmed. The narrative emphasizes strategy, danger, and youthful patriotic courage in combat conditions.
