Tragic Civil War story told by Ephraim at old bridge ruin
Ephraim recalls Marie Washington and Victor Blue in a family tale tied to a collapsed bridge near Tishomingo Creek. Old Miss Sarah, their widowed mother, pleads for Victor to stay safe as he heads back to battle with Ephraim pledged to guard him, ending with hopes for the Mobile and Ohio railroad crossing and a later march toward Baldwyn.
