...what his life in the North was like-remained an enigma. Was the young man nicknamed "Super" back in his hometown of Rich Square, North Carolina, really an unrepentant traitor, as the U.S. Army charged?

Because of the large number of injured, even more services from nearby areas were called, and their help was invaluable. I am a Red Cross volunteer, and I believe that, since we emergency workers undergo training to prepare...
