TO MAKE PROUD PORTRAITS
FOR THE BOYS TO SEND HOME

7
00:01:17,567 --> 00:01:19,110
AND TO CAPTURE
AS MUCH OF THE ACTION

8

00:00:40,530 --> 00:00:43,074
INDICATES THAT THE INDIVIDUAL
IS A PRIVATE."

7
00:00:47,662 --> 00:00:49,372
THEY BOTH HAD
A PARTICULAR WAY OF YELLING.

8
00:00:49,539 --> 00:00:52,042
THE NORTHERN TROOPS MADE
A SORT OF HURRAH.

9
00:00:52,208 --> 00:00:53,543
IT WAS CALLED BY ONE SOLDIER,

1
00:00:25,682 --> 00:00:28,018
THERE'S A PHOTOGRAPH
I'M VERY FOND OF.

OR ALONGSIDE

A SNAKE-RAIL FENCE.

6
00:00:38,486 --> 00:00:39,612
AND YOU SEE EXACTLY HOW

7
00:00:39,779 --> 00:00:42,115
THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIER
WAS DRESSED.

8
00:00:42,282 --> 00:00:44,951
YOU SEE SOMETHING IN
HIS ATTITUDE TOWARD THE CAMERA

9
00:00:45,118 --> 00:00:47,162

1
00:00:25,682 --> 00:00:28,476
"I have just this moment
heard from the front.

2
00:00:28,643 --> 00:00:30,437
"There is nothing yet
of a movement,

3
00:00:30,603 --> 00:00:33,273
"but each side
is continually on the alert,

4
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,734
"expecting something
to happen.

5
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:38,862
"To think we are
to have here soon

6
00:00:39,029 --> 00:00:40,822
"What I've seen
so many times--

7
00:00:40,989 --> 00:00:43,700
"the awful loads
and trains and boatloads

8
00:00:43,867 --> 00:00:47,704
"of bloody and pale,
and wounded young men again.

1
00:00:21,428 --> 00:00:26,266
"I REQUIRE ABLE-BODIED MEN
WITH GOOD HORSE AND GUN.

2
00:00:26,433 --> 00:00:30,437
"I WISH NONE BUT THOSE WHO
DESIRE TO BE ACTIVELY ENGAGED.

3
00:00:30,603 --> 00:00:34,649
"COME ON, BOYS,
IF YOU WANT A HEAP OF FUN

4
00:00:34,816 --> 00:00:37,652
AND TO KILL SOME YANKEES."

5
00:00:37,819 --> 00:00:39,863
NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST.

6
00:00:41,656 --> 00:00:45,118
BEDFORD FORREST'S GRANDDAUGHTER
LIVED HERE IN MEMPHIS.

7
00:00:45,285 --> 00:00:46,411
SHE RECENTLY DIED,

8
00:00:46,578 --> 00:00:47,871
AND I GOT TO KNOW HER,

9
00:00:48,038 --> 00:00:49,998
AND SHE EVEN LET ME SWING
THE GENERAL'S SABER

1
00:00:20,427 --> 00:00:22,595
"We believed
that it was most desirable

2
00:00:22,762 --> 00:00:25,598
"that the north
should win.

3
00:00:25,765 --> 00:00:27,892
"We believed
in the principle

4
00:00:28,059 --> 00:00:31,521
"that the union
is indissoluble.

5
00:00:31,688 --> 00:00:34,524
"We, or many of us at least,
also believed

6
00:00:34,691 --> 00:00:37,777
"that the conflict
was inevitable

7
00:00:37,944 --> 00:00:41,740
"and that slavery
had lasted long enough,

8
00:00:41,906 --> 00:00:45,535
"but we equally believed
that those who stood against us

1
00:00:22,637 --> 00:00:25,473
"Were these things real?

2
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,476
"Did I see those brave
and noble countrymen of mine

3
00:00:28,643 --> 00:00:32,313
"laid low in death
and weltering in their blood?

4
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:37,652
"Did I see our country
laid waste and in ruins?

5
00:00:37,819 --> 00:00:40,196
"Did I see
soldiers marching,

6
00:00:40,363 --> 00:00:45,744
"the earth trembling and jarring
beneath their measured tread?

7
00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:48,288
"Did I see the ruins

8
00:00:48,455 --> 00:00:52,000
"of smoldering cities
and deserted homes?

9
00:00:52,167 --> 00:00:55,128
