Conventonmal verse, one on Francis Drake and the Spanish-American War; amother symbolically suggests US alliance with ritainvs. Russia and Japan? (the Tig811 P 132er?)
Excellent, excellent....Turn of the century fiction. People are missing out...The stories are so wonderfully built. The plot continues and expands to contain all the characters in a rich story. Very descriptive. Like I have said of this type of fiction before, it takes a long time to read but it is worth every moment. Like a movie or tv series that you don't want to end. This is what life was like between the Civil War and the 1920's. Read it....

The story follows a Confederate army faction and their "guns"--which kind of guns to distinguish them from regular infantry guns, the author never clarifies--in Virginia all through the American Civil War. The Colonel and his division grew fond of their six guns and named them The Cat, The Eagle, and The Evangelists: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each gun has special character that warrants the name. However, as the title of the story implies, there comes a time when the men must bury their loved machines. Don't worry that's 9,000 words in the making. Most of the story is details about the war from a general's distant, conceptual view and nothing memorable.… (altro)
