Capt. John Maxwell

[SSlater]

Does anyone know Capt. John Maxwell? He's the Confederate Explosive Expert that blew-up "City Point" on 9 Aug 1864. It is said he used a "Holological Torpedo", which is a Time -clock.
I'm wondering if this was another of Harney's inventions.

There is the "Ottawa Treaty" that exists, to stop the use of "Torpedoes". ( They call'em IED's.) (Improvised Explosive Devices) The signees agree "not to use, produce, stockpile, transfer, anti personnel mines." As of 2016, 162 countries have joined. 36 countries have not. Not signed: China, Russia, United States.
