Historical Information
It could be any battle at any time of the war. Young men stand in worn, faded butternut, arms at the ready. Farmers turned soldiers, ready for the chilling command, "Forward!" These lean, sun-burned soldiers embody the soul of the south, the best fighting men the Confederacy has to offer. They march where they are sent, without question, with an unswerving faith in the cause, their homes and the officers that lead them.
History will recall the battles and officers by name, but these stalwart men will remain almost nameless. Each will be remembered only as a small part of the whole. The soldiers knew this all too well, as one southern poet lamented:
"Only a private! his jacket of grey, Is stained by the smoke and dust; As Bayard he's brave, as Rupert he's gay, Reckless as Murat in heat of the fray, But God is his only trust!
Only a private! no ribbon or star, Shall gild with false glory his name! No honors for him in braid or in bar, His Legion of Honor is only a scar, And his wounds are his roll of fame!"
*excerpt from "Only a Private" by F.W.D., November 1861
