While a political refugee in London, former Confederate general John G. Walker wrote a history of the Civil War west of the Mississippi River. Walker's account, composed shortly after the war and unpublished until now, remains one of only two memoirs by high-ranking Confederate officials who fought in the Trans-Mississippi theater. Edited and expertly annotated by Richard Lowe -- author of the definitive history of Walker's Texas division -- the general's insightful narrative describes firsthand his experience and many other military events west of the great river.
Before assuming command of a division of Texas infantry in early 1863, Walker earned the approval of Robert E. Lee for his leadership at the Battle of Antietam. Indeed, Lee later expressed regret at the transfer of Walker from the Army of Northern Virginia to the Trans-Mississippi Department. As the leader of the Texas Division (known later as the Greyhound Division for its long, rapid marches across Louisiana and Arkansas), Walker led an attempt to relieve the great Confederate fortress at Vicksburg during the siege by the Federal army in the spring and summer of 1863. Ordered to attack Ulysses Grant's forces on the west bank of the Mississippi River near Vicksburg, Walker unleashed a furious assault on black and white Union troops stationed at Milliken's Bend, Louisiana. The encounter was only the second time in American history that organized regiments of African American troops fought in a pitched battle. After the engagement, Walker realized the great potential of black regiments for the Union cause.
Walker's Texans later fought at the battle of Bayou Bourbeau in south Louisiana, where they helped to turn back a Federal attempt to attack Texas via an overland route from New Orleans. In the winter of 1863--1864, Walker's infantry and artillery disrupted Union shipping on the Mississippi River. According to Lowe, the Greyhound Division's crucial role in throwing back the Union's 1864 Red River Campaign remains its greatest accomplishment. Walker led his men on a marathon operation in which they marched about nine hundred miles and fought three large battles in ten weeks, a feat unmatched by any other division -- Union or Confederate -- in the war. General Walker's history stands as a testament to his skilled leadership and provides an engaging primary source document for scholars, students, and others interested in Civil War history.

They taste better than expected- make sure to check the label
Color: Assorted, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The company is going through a transition right now, so some of them have xylitol and some of them do not. If you are looking for the kind with xylitol, this one is not it. But it makes it very confusing because one page will have different products and someone will have xylitol and someone will not so make sure you are looking at the ingredients and cross referencing what you can see in the picture and what's in the description. I got a couple kinds and I have found that what is in the picture the ingredients in the picture is what I actually got. If you're looking for the Non- xylitol kind with the other two ingredients that are good for teeth than it's this this one. I use other xylitol products so I was looking for the other two ingredients specifically. If either way it doesn't matter to you then I would go ahead and purchase for an adult or a child. But you have to be more careful with the xylitol kind if you were using other types of xylitol or have a sensitive stomach or IBS or you're giving it to a child. It may upset a child's stomach, especially if eaten in high amounts, you can get gas and diarrhea. So I was looking for specifically the one without xylitol. And for a product without xylitol or sugar, these taste great. I am a fan however I do like the.zolli balz kind a bit better. For a younger child, this shape is less of a chocking hazard.

Tastes good, but I sounded like a deflating pool raft for about 3-5 hours after consumption
Color: Natural Fruit Variety, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1)
Listen. I bought these because they’re “good for your teeth,” “won’t spike blood sugar,” and apparently dentists recommend them. Cute. Adorable. I love the idea of a guilt-free lollipop. What I was not prepared for was the industrial-strength intestinal chaos that followed. These things taste great — like, dangerously great. I ate two. Not a whole bag. Not half a bag. Just two little sugar-free angel pops. And about an hour later I realized I had made a tactical miscalculation. My stomach started sounding like someone was inflating a pool raft inside me using a faulty air compressor. I was walking around my house like a Victorian woman with “nerves,” clutching my abdomen and praying for mercy. The gas? Oh, the gas. I don’t know what mystical sugar alcohol is in these, but it turned my digestive system into a wind farm. I produced enough air to power a small suburban neighborhood. I scared the cat. I scared myself. At one point I swear my own fart ricocheted off the hardwood floor and came back for a second round. Do they hurt your teeth? No! Do they spike your blood sugar? Absolutely not. Do they destroy your social life for 12–24 hours? Yes. With precision. If you want a great-tasting candy that won’t mess with your glucose — and you live alone, outdoors, or somewhere with excellent ventilation — go for it. Five stars for flavor. One star for the fact that these turned me into a human whoopee cushion. Final verdict: delicious but dangerous. Approach with caution… and maybe open a window.

These are amazing
Color: Natural Fruit Variety, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Natural Fruit Variety, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1)
Recently diagnosed diabetic with a huge sweet tooth... I was looking everywhere for something to feed the craving without putting me into medical danger. Not only are these delicious but they are better than most regular lollis. I immediately went to purchase other zolli candy. 10/10 will repurchase and recommend

YUMMY & non gas causing (less sorbitol)
For a sugar free pop - it’s yummy and not overloaded with that gas-causing chemical ‘sorbitol’ Perfect for smoke cessation, or nighttime pie hole stuffing problems
