Encounter At Cold Harbor (1997)
“Word had come from General Lee to bring up at once whatever forces were available. The city of Richmond was scoured for ammunition, uniforms, horses. The countryside gave up whatever food was available, and slowly the army began to take shape.
Nelson Majors, for all his activity, never completely forgot his daughter. Constantly he was wondering what would happen to Esther if he lost his life on the field of battle. He said nothing to his sons about this but spent as much time as possible trying... to plan some way to protect the child in case something happened to him.
One Tuesday morning, when he had time to breathe from his duties, he went for a walk. Out by the edge of the camp there was a small creek that he liked to sit beside and listen to the water gurgle over the stones. It was very quiet as he walked along, watching the schools of minnows flash like silver in the shallow stream. From time to time a frog would cry out and splash into the water. Overhead the trees were green, and it was cool under their shade, even though the temperature in the sun was almost one hundred.MoreLess
