The Big Gun (Dusty Fog's Civil War Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
Black haired, just touched with gray at the temples, his face had a slightly Mephistophelian aspect which partly accounted for his sobriquet, ‘Ole Devil’. He was a complete contrast to his captured counterpart in the Union Army. There was none of Culver’s bombast and profanity in Ole Devil’s bearing or speech. Intelligent, morally and physically courageous, capable, tolerant and understanding—if inclined to be harsh and ruthless when confronted by stupidity or inefficiency—he had the saving graces of breeding, modesty and a sense of humor. The men of the Confederate States’ Army of Arkansas and North Texas admired, respected and trusted Ole Devil, although he had but recently assumed command. It had been due to his excellent planning and superb leadership that they had completed their successful withdrawal to south of the Ouachita River. Standing on the judge’s rostrum, with his feet spread slightly apart, Ole Devil presented a commanding, imposing figure. In a subtle way he was paying tribute to the quality of his audience by having taken special care with his appearance.
