Drummer Boy At Bull Run (1995)
“Pineville, Kentucky, was so close to the state line that the Virginia mountains were clearly visible. The quiet little town had few celebrations. Usually the Fourth of July was the most important. However, on one cool day in March 1861, the streets were filled with people, music, and the sound of laughter. Fifty years earlier the village had been incorporated, and this celebration had been ordained to call attention to that time.
The day was raw and windy, but no one seemed to mind—least of all... the pretty girl who was tugging urgently at the sleeve of a boy close to the square dance platform.
“Come on, Jeff—we’re old enough!”
Leah Carter was barely thirteen, but she’d been yearning to square dance with the grown-ups for a long time. Her honey-colored hair gleamed as the pale sun touched it, and the green dress she wore matched the color of her eyes. It was her best dress. She’d been hoping that Jeff Majors would tell her how pretty it was—but he had not.
“Aw, I don’t know how.”MoreLess
