About this issue

This issue of Frank Tousey's weekly dime novel magazine for December 30, 1904 (No. 21, priced 5 cents) features the Civil War military serial "Under Court Martial; or, The Boys in Blue Disgraced" by Lieut. Harry Lee. The narrative follows General Grant and his Army of the West during the 1862 campaign, focusing on the Fairdale Blues, an independent company led by Captain Jack Clark (son of a Fairdale merchant). When Grant learns that Confederate generals Van Dorn and Price plan a joint attack on Corinth, he summons Clark for a crucial mission whose success will determine the army's safety. The scout Farwell brings warning of enemy movements. The bulk of the issue comprises a catalog of self-help and instruction books available from the publisher, covering mesmerism, palmistry, hunting, magic tricks, athletics, fortune-telling, letter-writing, and mechanical engineering.
