The Adventure of Arthur McGuire

The second story ever written, and first to be published, by F. H. Tallendro, The Adventure of Arthur McGuire tells the grim tale of a rebellious Confederate sharpshooter at the Battle of Gettysburg. Far from his beloved wife, children, and business venture in New Orleans, Arthur seeks out wealth in the deadliest conflict in American history. In his attempt to return home, he must come to terms with his own role in the killing, as well as face head on, alone and desperate, the ugliest facets of the human condition. Originally published in the Winter 2015/2016 issue of the online literary journal, HelloHorror.
