Revered by his congregation and, curiously, beloved by the Fairies, Kirk spent his final days in quiet communion with the unseen. Legends grew from his deep…-

Chapter IX – The Cavalry General
Chapter IX – The Cavalry General begins with a thorough look at the tactical flexibility required in cavalry warfare. The text places strong emphasis on adjusting strategies in real time rather than following rigid doctrine.

The death of Lizzie Q, Mollie’s mother, further fractured an already devastated family, reinforcing the brutal reality that no Osage, no matter their status, was safe from the relentless wave of killings.

Crazy Laws
Crazy laws often leave us puzzled, showcasing peculiar statutes that might have once had practical applications but now serve mostly as curiosities. One such law, passed in 1872 in Scotland, made it illegal to be drunk while supervising cows, horses, carriages, or steam engines. However, sheep were conveniently left out of this restriction, suggesting an unusual gap in the law's scope. Similarly, in Missouri, a bizarre rule exists that prohibits traveling with an uncaged bear, a law that, though rarely…-
