War Era Reflections and Reminiscences From Local Column
The piece recalls Civil War skirmishes at Amelia Court House with Captains McGuire and Rutherford noted, plus Major Thompson and generals Dearing and Washburn. It also revisits Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Burton Harrison’s wartime reminiscences, Lincoln at reception, and food scarcity in Richmond. A contrast with European conflicts is drawn, urging peace and preparedness, then shifts to reflections on Westminster Abbey’s Cradle Tomb and the power of heart over intellect.
