The Leopards Spots Chapter I The Surrender Era
In a tale set after Gettysburg the North Carolina brigade Cox’s men march as Lee contemplates surrender. A Black servant Nelse recalls a death and a heroic young man, Marie Charles, and a woman named Mrs Gaston, while a boy Charlie seeks a doctor for his ailing mother in a town near King’s Mountain. The scene blends war’s end with personal sacrifice and a doomed family’s memories.
