Fatigue
gave
an
unreal
,
nightmarish
cast
to
the
whole
scene
.
It
could
n't
be
real
--
or
it
was
real
,
then
the
world
had
gone
mad
.
If
not
,
why
should
she
be
standing
here
in
Aunt
Pitty
's
peaceful
front
yard
,
amid
wavering
lights
,
pouring
water
over
dying
beaux
?
For
so
many
of
them
were
her
beaux
and
they
tried
to
smile
when
they
saw
her
.
There
were
so
many
men
jolting
down
this
dark
,
dusty
road
whom
she
knew
so
well
,
so
many
men
dying
here
before
her
eyes
,
mosquitoes
and
gnats
swarming
their
bloody
faces
,
men
with
whom
she
had
danced
and
laughed
,
for
whom
she
had
played
music
and
sung
songs
,
teased
,
comforted
and
loved
--
a
little
.
She
found
Carey
Ashburn
on
the
bottom
layer
of
wounded
in
an
ox
cart
,
barely
alive
from
a
bullet
wound
in
his
head
.
But
she
could
not
extricate
him
without
disturbing
six
other
wounded
men
,
so
she
let
him
go
on
to
the
hospital
.
Later
she
heard
he
had
died
before
a
doctor
ever
saw
him
and
was
buried
somewhere
,
no
one
knew
exactly
.
So
many
men
had
been
buried
that
month
,
in
shallow
,
hastily
dug
graves
at
Oakland
Cemetery
.
Melanie
felt
it
keenly
that
they
had
not
been
able
to
get
a
lock
of
Carey
's
hair
to
send
to
his
mother
in
Alabama
.
As
the
hot
night
wore
on
and
their
backs
were
aching
and
their
knees
buckling
from
weariness
,
Scarlett
and
Pitty
cried
to
man
after
man
:
"
What
news
?
What
news
?
"
And
as
the
long
hours
dragged
past
,
they
had
their
answer
,
an
answer
that
made
them
look
whitely
into
each
other
's
eyes
.
"
We
're
falling
back
.
"
"
We
've
got
to
fall
back
.
"
"
They
outnumber
us
by
thousands
.
"
"
The
Yankees
have
got
Wheeler
's
cavalry
cut
off
near
Decatur
.
We
got
to
reenforce
them
.
"
"
Our
boys
will
all
be
in
town
soon
.
"
Scarlett
and
Pitty
clutched
each
other
's
arms
for
support
.
"
Are
--
are
the
Yankees
coming
?
"
"
Yes
'm
,
they
're
comin
'
all
right
but
they
ai
n't
goin
'
ter
git
fer
,
lady
.
"
"
Do
n't
fret
,
Miss
,
they
ca
n't
take
Atlanta
.
"
"
No
,
Ma
'm
,
we
got
a
million
miles
of
breastworks
'
round
this
town
.
"
"
I
heard
Old
Joe
say
it
myself
:
'
I
can
hold
Atlanta
forever
.
'
"
"
But
we
ai
n't
got
Old
Joe
.
We
got
--
"
"
Shut
up
,
you
fool
!
Do
you
want
to
scare
the
ladies
?
"
"
The
Yankees
will
never
take
this
place
,
Ma
'm
.
"
"
Why
n't
you
ladies
go
ter
Macon
or
somewheres
that
's
safer
?
Ai
n't
you
got
no
kinfolks
there
?
"
"
The
Yankees
ai
n't
goin
'
ter
take
Atlanta
but
still
it
ai
n't
goin
'
ter
be
so
healthy
for
ladies
whilst
they
're
tryin
'
it
.
"
"
There
's
goin
'
ter
be
a
powerful
lot
of
shellin
'
.
"
In
a
warm
steaming
rain
the
next
day
,
the
defeated
army
poured
though
Atlanta
by
thousands
,
exhausted
by
hunger
and
weariness
,
depleted
by
seventy-six
days
of
battle
and
retreat
,
their
horses
starved
scarecrows
,
their
cannon
and
caissons
harnessed
with
odds
and
ends
of
rope
and
strips
of
rawhide
.
But
they
did
not
come
in
as
disorderly
rabble
,
in
full
rout
.
They
marched
in
good
order
,
jaunty
for
all
their
rags
,
their
torn
red
battle
flags
flying
in
the
rain
.
They
had
learned
retreating
under
Old
Joe
,
who
had
made
it
as
great
a
feat
of
strategy
as
advancing
.
The
bearded
,
shabby
files
swung
down
Peachtree
Street
to
the
tune
of
"
Maryland
!
My
Maryland
!
"
and
all
the
town
turned
out
to
cheer
them
.
In
victory
or
defeat
,
they
were
their
boys
.
The
state
militia
who
had
gone
out
so
short
a
time
before
,
resplendent
in
new
uniforms
,
could
hardly
be
distinguished
from
the
seasoned
troops
,
so
dirty
and
unkempt
were
they
.
There
was
a
new
look
in
their
eyes
.
Three
years
of
apologizing
,
of
explaining
why
they
were
not
at
the
front
was
behind
them
now
.
They
had
traded
security
behind
the
lines
for
the
hardships
of
battle
.
Many
of
their
number
had
traded
easy
living
for
hard
death
.
They
were
veterans
now
,
veterans
of
brief
service
,
but
veterans
just
the
same
,
and
they
had
acquitted
themselves
well
.
They
searched
out
the
faces
of
friends
in
the
crowd
and
stared
at
them
proudly
,
defiantly
.
They
could
hold
up
their
heads
now
.
