"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."
