The American Civil War (1861 - 1865)

"Who knows but it may be given to us, after this life, to meet again in the old quarters, to play chess and draughts, to get up soon to answer the morning rollcall, to fall in at the tap of the drum for drill and dress parade, and again hastily don our war gear while the monotonous patter of the long roll summons to battle? Who knows but again the old flags, ragged and torn, snapping in the wind, may face each other and flutter, pursuing and pursued, while the cries of victory fill the summer day? And after the battle, then the slain and wounded will arise, and all will meet together under the two flags, and all will say: did it not seem real? was it not as in the old days?" --Berry Benson, a North Carolina Civil War veteren.
