"It is absolutely unique--without question the most fascinating Civil War novel I have ever read."
Professor James M. McPherson
Pultizer Prize-winning BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM
January 1864--General Robert E. Lee faces defeat. The Army of Northern Virginia is ragged and ill-equpped. Gettysburg has broken the back of the Confederacy and decimated its manpower.
Then, Andries Rhoodie, a strange man with an unplaceable accent, approaches Lee with an extraordinary offer. Rhoodie demonstrates an amazing rifle: Its rate of fire is incredible, its lethal efficiency breathtaking--and Rhoodie guarantees unlimited quantitites to the Confederates.
The name of the weapon is the AK-47....

Actually Lee was more into girls than guns. He paid 34x his usual bounty for 14 year old girls, and even bought girls, who were never enslaved before, from bounty hunters who captured FREE blacks in the North, while they were chasing escaped slaves.
Lee continued the practice during the Civil War,he is the only person in US military history to order the capture of free people during war, in enemy territory (the North) to be chained, taken back to his country (CSA) and sold as slaves.
I wonder who got the money? No one knows.
