Battle Of Lookout Mountain (1996) - Plot & Excerpts
Sarah said very little the day following the dance; otherwise she went about her work as usual. Late that afternoon, while she and her mother were making a quilt, the subject of Tom Majors came up. “Sarah,” her mother said quietly, “you’re troubled about Tom.” “Yes, I am. Aren’t you?” Mrs. Carter’s fingers flew, putting tiny stitches in the bed cover. The colorful top displayed little Dutch boys and girls with odd hats, made from scraps from other sewing projects. “Yes, of course I am!” she said. Sarah looked up, her dark blue eyes distressed. “I don’t know what he’s going to do. I don’t think he does either. It’s just like all the strength has been drained out of him. All the purpose. He was always so excited about everything, Tom was. Now it’s almost like he’s—like he’s dead inside.” Mrs. Carter took another stitch. “You wouldn’t agree to marry Tom before because he was going to be in the Confederate army …” “I know!” Sarah thought for a moment and then said, “But now he won’t be in the army.”
