This is a fictional story I wrote about the execution of a soldier in the civil war. Most (as in 99.9 %) of the names and places mentioned in this story were true. The events in this story never happened, save the battle of Gettysberg. If you like the Civil War, read on, brother. I wrote this short story because one similar to this inspired me: An occurance at owl creek. It is about a man who is accused of treason in the civil war, and he is hung. If you compare the two stories, they are very similar. Execution. And again, we must open our eyes. Too many inmates are executed each and every year who were falsely accused. How would you like to ride the lightening because of false accusations? Even if a man DID murder someone, it isn't setting a good example to the rest of us by teaching people that violence is the sollution.
