Somebody's Boy and a Parade of Modern Folly
A Civil War reminiscence details a rear guard stand at Malvern Hill with a young Confederate boy facing a veteran soldier. The narrator recalls sparing the boy, then later noting his escape amid brutal combat as a fellow soldier kills another. The piece shifts to social curiosities including American literary women, fashionable tableaux, and a contrived photograph album proposal for “types of female beauty” to Moscow’s museum.
