Fact or Fiction?  These amazing war stories might make you wonder.

Fascinating tales, infamous characters, strange coincidences -- Webb Garrison is back with another captivating collection of strange but true "curiosities":  facts, stories and unusual aspects of the Civil War that somehow managed to escape history's watchful eye.  Sometimes it's unbelievable.  But it's all true.

And you thought you heard it all . . .

Not so friendly fire . . . fragging, or murdering a fellow soldier, was the probable cause of death of tyrannical Federal Gen. Thomas Wilson.  According to a widely circulated, though never documented story, he was held before a cannon by a group of his own men who then fired it at the enemy.

Reload . . . The Winchester Company indicated that it produced 58,238,924 cartridges of the Spencer variety alone during the four years of Civil War.

Life & limb . . . During the Battle of Port Hudson, a round from a Union battery blew off the leg of Confederate Capt. R. M. Boone.  Aware that he had only moments to live, Boone made a dying request:  to have his severed leg stuffed into one of his guns and shot back at the Yankees.

The big ticket . . . the total cost of the Civil War by today's standards is estimated at somewhere between $231-280 billion dollars.
