this is obviously not the forum for this subject.....my apologies


Todd, the subject is fine and dandy in regards to the American Civil War. The modern references were the only items removed. Continue the discussion sir.

Google Fitz Hugh Ludlow.

Or here's an ad from Harper's Weekly, 1862:

Hasheesh Candy.— THE ARABIAN "GUNJH" OF ENCHANTMENT confectionized.—A most pleasurable and harmless stimulant.—Cures Nervousness, Weakness, Melancholy, &c. Inspires all classes with new life and energy. A complete mental and physical invigorator. Send for circular. Beware of imitations. 25 cents and $1 per box. Imported only by the GUNJAH WALLAH CO., 476 Broadway, N. Y.
