Don't miss the first packet of General Sawyer's notorious memoirs- the literary mortar bomb that began it all…

THE ADVENTURES OF SIDNEY SAWYER:
The Ace of Hearts!


Master storyteller David M. Smeltz spins a

rollicking   yarn   of   antebellum   America
rushing  toward  Civil  War. With  an axe to
grind  and  a bellyful of brandy,  the ancient
General    Sidney    Sawyer   scribbles  his
sordid memoirs. The sissy and snitch from
Mark     Twain’s    classic    tale    poaches
Brother   Tom’s   place   at  West  Point and
blossoms  into  a full-grown  rake,  amorist,
and  cad.  Cadet Sawyer survives a rigged
duel   with  a  pistol  ball  in  his  breast and
wins  fraudulent  glory  as   the Army’s own
Ace  of  Hearts!

THE ADVENTURES OF SIDNEY SAWYER:
The  River  War!


Enjoy  a yarn  that  brings the Civil War to life
through the notorious memoirs of the biggest
scoundrel in the Union Army, General Sidney
Sawyer.  Mark  Twain's  least loveable rascal

Rebels, lawmen, slavers, killers and serpents,
Sidney   finishes   the   first   terrible  year  of
War  with  a  stunning  midnight  reckoning at
Bloody  Pond.  It's  the  best  history this side
