The Soldier’s Choice

by | Oct 15, 2015 | Burke, Confederate affiliation

A Confederate soldier is given an assignment to lie in wait for a Union courier who is carrying important papers. The Confederate is, “at all costs,” to bring those documents back with him. The Union courier is singing a beloved hymn as he unknowingly approaches the Confederate waiting for him in the dense woods. The words to the song bring remembrances to the Confederate soldier and bring about a change of outcome.
