Gallant Boys Of Gettysburg (1996) - Plot & Excerpts
“I sure hope they don’t have goober peas in heaven,” he muttered. “I think I’ve eaten enough of ’em down here on earth.” “Why, Jeff, you ought to be glad to get good cookin’ like that.” The speaker was an undersized boy of fourteen with tow-colored hair and blue eyes. Charlie Bowers had been with Jeff since the two had enlisted as drummer boys, and now he winked around at the rest of the squad, who were consuming their rations. “I don’t think Jeff appreciates our cook, Curley. Why don’t you explain to him how lucky he is to have you?” Curley Henson was a huge red-haired man. It was his turn to serve as cook for the squad, and he grunted, “If he don’t like the way I cook goober peas, he can cook ’em himself.” He looked over at Jeff. “If you’d get out and find me something to cook—like maybe a good suckling pig—I’d show you something!” Jeff Majors knew he was on dangerous ground. In the Confederate Army the rations were doled out, and every squad did its own cooking, the men usually taking turns at the task.
