Drafting Mischief and Ridiculous Rules from Billings
The excerpt mocks drafting through Billings style satire noting wives awaiting husbands after two years in war, absurd draft limits and conditions. It remarks on fools, wage reporters, and the odd idea that no substitute is allowed and a man can be drafted twice with consent while habeas corpus cannot strip this right.

Smuggling and Punishment Under Civil War Orders in Norfolk
In 1864 Norfolk figures Pearson and Leary, former saloon keepers, smuggled aboard a gunboat and fled to Bermuda Landing. The commanding General ordered Pearson to trench duty and Leary to Geo Hinks’ line. The incident includes remarks about duty, family concerns, censorship, and a printed order for Norfolk papers. The piece also weaves in contemporaneous Civil War era debates and quotes.
