The Living - The Running - and The Dead

On Sept 19, 1863, at the Battle of Chickamauga, an unnamed Confederate sharpshooter mortally wounded Union General William Lytle, who was leading a charge at the time. Shots from a Confederate Whitworth rifle was easily identifiable due to the shrill whistle their hexagonal bullets made in flight. All members of the General's staff and artillerymen knew to duck for cover. Whitworth rifles can hit a man more than a mile away and were held responsible for the deaths of many high-ranking Union Officers. But - who gets killed depends on the loyalty of the man pulling the trigger. The Yankee, Duncan Woods, had the good luck to acquire this Confederate rifle. He became a trained, Yankee Civil War sniper and used this weapon against the south. Now the war is over. This is the story of how he, along with his Whitworth .451 caliber rifle, seeks revenge after the brutal slaying of his family by the Russell brothers. The only question that remains: will it save him from his own grave?
