A friend recently told me that she had heard that during the Civil War a Union general had been killed by a sharpshooter who took his shot from a mile away. I suspect this is a somewhat exaggerated reference to the death of Gen. Sedgwick, which is usually given as 1,000 yards, but I thought I'd call on the experts here. What is the longest reasonably well documented distance for a sharpshooter/sniper kill during the War?
