Confederate and Union Forces Clash at Richmond Front
A Civil War narrative recounts Sheridan advancing toward Richmond with Butler and the Army of the Potomac. It details skirmishes at Drewer’s Bluff, the fogged assault, stumps wired as traps, and a costly Confederate counterattack that tested infantry and artillery units including Mink’s Battery and regiments from New Hampshire and South Carolina. The piece also notes exchanges between officers, the fog of war, and the brutal toll on both sides as Union forces pressed toward the James River.

Moltke's Snuff Purchase Any Nation’s Expense
In 1870-71 Count Moltke used wartime funds to order snuff from Versailles, charged to the state. An auditor flagged the entry as an unpatriotic expense and, after legal opinions, the state refused payment while Moltke was asked to cover it. The episode ends with a cautious note on state accounting and a botanical aside about helio-salix flowers turning toward the sun.
