The Stupid Recruit in a Confederate Regiment
A tall green recruit joins Johnston's camp in Nashville and proves the most unsoldierly figure. He wanders, blunders, and ends up in guardhouses, nearly court-martialed, then mysteriously deserts at sunrise. The captain who led him later faces a Union parole, while the recruit recalls brutal desertion and revenge in Tennessee.
