McColl” by Frances McColl Stewart, published by iUniverse,
Inc. has now been listed on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com.
"They arrived at the battlefield at dusk.
The shooting was becoming more sporadic as it was difficult for
soldiers to aim through the heavy smoke at twilight. The three of
them picked up as many injured soldiers as they could and stacked
them in the buckboard for transport back to the Old House. Furniture
was moved out of the living room and the wounded were made as
comfortable as possible on palettes on the floor.
When Sherman’s scouts came through, they
declared the Old House to be a hospital. It seems that in the dark,
poor Lucy was picking up Union soldiers as well as our Rebs, and
once daylight hit, simple Christianity won out. We children were
savage enough to be thrilled to have the bloodstains of that long
ago time permanently embedded in the wooden floors."
“Née McColl” brings alive
the cultural heritage of being a South Carolina McColl.
Poverty, Rationing, Education, Grits, and Rapists,
as seen through a child’s eyes will make you relive those
bittersweet, simpler days following WW II.
A member of Mensa’s Webheads, Frances’
