A Civil War reminiscence told with fateful romance
Veteran Ellsworth Emerson recounts two linked Civil War tales set in Tennessee. A farm girl’s gaze, a lingering love, and a battlefield mystery lead to a dramatic ending as Bill Havens writes a blood stained plea on a paper tied to a watch chain and fires a musket. The piece ends with veterans seeking more such stories after the war.
