A nostalgic reminiscence of a rural church choir with the Bethel and old hymns. It recalls angels, psalms, chorus leaders, and the joyful church atmosphere as songs rise to the rafters and the congregation sings in harmony.
In the Overland Monthly’s World War II era reminiscence, a Union troop describes the two day night march and siege after Fredericksburg. Fog, shellfire, and near miss fate frame a weary bivouac as behind Marye’s Heights the Army of the Potomac endures endless peril. The narrative paints civilians and soldiers alike, from the smoking Meg Merrilies figure to the improvised comforts of cabbage and soap, ending with the city’s pillage and the costly yet failed withdrawal across the Rappahannock.
