PROLOGUE
The winter was long and cold as the Confederate Army trudged into Dalton. General Joseph E. Johnston and his men were tired and hungry after their defeat in Chattanooga. Johnston received word that Major General William Sherman was leading his troops in a mission to invade Atlanta. By this time, Johnston’s men had faced many tragedies. He worried that this would break what little spirit they had left. He would need more time to allow them to recover. Johnson knew his men would be in danger of running into Union soldiers if he chose to take the path through the small towns, so he decided to entrench his men in Dalton along the Rocky Face Ridge on the outskirts of town.
During the next six months, Johnston joined forces with Major General Polk. This merger made their army 70,000-men strong and gave the troops new confidence. That was exactly what Johnston hoped for, although he, along with the other commanding officers, knew it held little hope against Sherman’s 110,000.
The first skirmish hit the Confederate Calvary at Tunnel Hill and fought through to Rocky Face Ridge. For the next two days, Sherman’s men attacked against Johnston’s forces in several small-scale attacks. But the Confederates stood strong and held their position. The ambushes were merely a diversion. In the meantime, Sherman had gathered his commanders around to discuss a new plan. Men, right now the Confederated Army is too well entrenched, but knowing Johnston, his attention will be so focused on the Union Army out there in front he won’t even take into account what’s going on behind the lines, so I have devised a new strategy.
By early Sunday morning, Sherman’s plan had been carried out. The fighting at Resaca was in full force and, by that afternoon, celebrations started early among the Union soldiers as they helped themselves to their first round of drinks. Before long, things grew out of control. Some Union soldiers began looting and pillaging the small town; what men weren’t killed during the raids fled on foot to their homes to gather their families and secure a way out.
One of Sherman’s men broke down the door of a shop where a shopkeeper’s family lived. He stood at the back of the shop scanning the hallway until he spotted the shopkeeper standing in the dark at the back of the house. Squinting his eyes, he slowly raised his gun and shot him in the chest. The shopkeeper’s wife heard a shot coming from the hall. As she closed the pantry door, she pressed her finger against her lips then pushed her daughter in deeper. She motioned for her to stay put and silent while she exited the pantry, then slammed the door to create a commotion as she ran down the hallway. The sound of her footsteps distracted the soldier as she passed him. He reached out and grabbed at her arm, but she jerked away and darted for the front door. He tried again and, this time, got her. He felt for his knife with his free hand and cut her throat. She dropped to the floor and blood gushed from her throat. The young daughter could hear her mother gurgling from the other room as she suffocated. When the room grew quiet, the terrified daughter stared through a crack in the door and watched the soldier kick her mother’s body out of the way as he walked into the kitchen, past the table into the sitting room. A strange light flashed behind him. Although startled by the light display, she was too overwhelmed by grief to give it much thought. She then moved by pure instinct, running quickly out the backdoor to a cluster of trees that lined the town’s main road. The rain was coming in relentless drizzles. As she ran, her arms and face scraped against the branches. She slipped and fell on the wet ground. Getting up, she brushed her hair away and wiped the water from her eyes. After going a short way, her shoe caught on a root and she fell again against the base of a large oak tree. Suddenly hearing voices, the terrified girl hid behind the old tree and tried to bury herself underneath the dead branches. One of the Union soldiers heard shuffling noises not far from the campsite. Drunk, he stumbled over to see what was scratching around in the woods. He circled the tree until he found a pair of large blue eyes peeking out at him from beneath soaked hair that clung to the sides of her face. She squeezed closer against the base of the tree while he started laughing.
Come on out, sweetheart. Let’s have a look at ya!
His slurred words made the young girl press harder against the tree.
What’s wrong, girl?
As he breathed out, she inhaled his strong, foul breath heavy with the smell of whiskey. The unpleasant odor poured over her as he reached down to grab her arm and lift her away from the tree. He jerked harder, but she refused to move; her eyes not shifting from the gun in his other hand now pointing at her! Pulling once again, he yanked her to her feet just as his gun went off and shot through her! The soldier looked down at his gun, as if noticing it for the first time, and then back at the girl. He watched the blood gushed from her left side. Panicked, he knew what this would cost him! Quickly, he set to work as he shoved and stuffed the young girl’s body back down against the side of the tree and scraped around to cover her body with the dead leaves piled in a small heap on the ground. When he finished, he stood still for a moment, looking down at the small mound, waiting, listening to see if she might stir or make a noise.
The young girl lay still, hoping he would leave. Finally, the soldier turned and left. She’s dead, the body’s not moving, he thought to himself.
Fighting to keep from struggling and trying not to scream out in pain, she bit down hard on her lips. Her breath trickled out of her as now, she’s filled with relief that the solider walked away. She was safe, the heaviness was gone! The trees and grass were fading, the townspeople’s blood; she couldn’t see it anymore running along the ground. There were no more cries for mercy, no loud shots from the battlefield on the other side of the hill, everything was silent as she slipped quietly away into
