- 00:05:39,812 --> 00:05:46,091
- Think we’ll ever see freedom
- again?
- 2
- 00:05:46,125 --> 00:05:51,469
- End of this war?
- 3
- 00:05:51,503 --> 00:05:57,314
- We were supposed to be exchanged,
- not sent to another prison.
- 4
- 00:05:57,347 --> 00:06:02,324
- I suppose so.
- 5
- 00:06:02,357 --> 00:06:07,300
- This ain’t no way to be treating
- men.
- 6
- 00:06:07,334 --> 00:06:12,110
- Keeping us pinned up like
- livestock.
- 7
- 00:06:12,144 --> 00:06:15,817
- This ain’t no war I signed up
- for.
- 8
- 00:06:15,851 --> 00:06:20,461
- What kind of war did you sign up
- for Robert?
- 9
- 00:06:34,990 --> 00:06:37,895
- What is a state with southern
- hospitality?
- 10
- 00:06:37,928 --> 00:06:40,166
- I tell you what...
- 11
- 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,404
- I much prefer Virginia to this.
- 12
- 00:06:42,437 --> 00:06:47,047
- A lot of them down here can rot
- in hell for all I care.
- 13
- 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,952
- Why don’t we get out of here and
- show them where they can put it.
- 14
- 00:06:49,986 --> 00:06:52,024
- What hospitality are you
- expecting?
- 15
- 00:06:52,057 --> 00:06:54,261
- We are prisoners.
- 16
- 00:06:54,294 --> 00:06:56,432
- No offense friend.
- 17
- 00:06:56,466 --> 00:07:00,907
- Just trying to break up the
- tension of the situation here.
- 18
- 00:07:04,014 --> 00:07:05,551
- Does feel nice to stretch our
- legs...
- 19
- 00:07:05,584 --> 00:07:07,621
- Don’t you think?
- 20
- 00:07:07,655 --> 00:07:08,991
- So to speak.
- 21
- 00:07:09,024 --> 00:07:12,064
- Well better than Andersonville.
- 22
- 00:07:12,097 --> 00:07:13,466
- You got a name?
- 23
- 00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:17,174
- Of course, don’t we all?
- 24
- 00:07:17,207 --> 00:07:19,178
- Thomas J. Ryan, Corporal.
- 25
- 00:07:19,211 --> 00:07:22,150
- Seventeenth man in Volunteer
- Infantry.
- 26
- 00:07:22,184 --> 00:07:23,219
- But please...
- 27
- 00:07:23,252 --> 00:07:24,555
- Call me Tom.
- 28
- 00:07:24,589 --> 00:07:26,526
- You boys?
- 29
- 00:07:26,559 --> 00:07:29,364
- I’m... I’m Robert Spencer,
- Private.
- 30
- 00:07:29,398 --> 00:07:30,233
- This is...
- 31
- 00:07:30,266 --> 00:07:31,969
- Sergeant Joseph Hoover.
- 32
- 00:07:32,004 --> 00:07:38,049
- We’re both with the 121st New
- York Volunteers.
- 33
- 00:07:38,082 --> 00:07:46,082
- Nice to meet you.
- 34
- 00:07:46,432 --> 00:07:47,467
- Look...
- 35
- 00:07:47,501 --> 00:07:49,705
- I was the only one from my
- company who was captured
- 36
- 00:07:49,739 --> 00:07:52,344
- in our particular conflict,
- 37
- 00:07:52,377 --> 00:07:57,154
- and on the account of some
- unfortunate gambling debts...
- 38
- 00:07:57,187 --> 00:08:00,460
- I didn’t make it out of
- Andersonville with too many friends.
- 39
- 00:08:00,494 --> 00:08:05,170
- This sounds strange to say, but
- uh...
- 40
- 00:08:05,203 --> 00:08:07,140
- I’d feel better if I had some
- friends, while we’re in here,
- 41
- 00:08:07,174 --> 00:08:09,478
- ya know?
- 42
- 00:08:09,512 --> 00:08:11,683
- Maybe we can help each other
- out.
- 43
- 00:08:11,716 --> 00:08:14,555
- I suppose so, that’s alright
- with me.
- 44
- 00:08:14,589 --> 00:08:16,158
- Joseph?
- 45
- 00:08:16,192 --> 00:08:18,730
- You ok with that?
- 46
- 00:08:18,763 --> 00:08:20,767
- Reckon so.
- 47
- 00:08:20,801 --> 00:08:21,536
- Good deal.
- 48
- 00:08:21,569 --> 00:08:23,439
- Good on ya boys.
- 49
- 00:08:23,472 --> 00:08:24,441
- Awesome.
- 50
- 00:08:24,474 --> 00:08:26,178
- Great guys.
- 51
- 00:08:26,212 --> 00:08:27,681
- You won’t regret it.
- 52
- 00:08:27,715 --> 00:08:29,719
- Come on, come on.
- 53
- 00:08:29,752 --> 00:08:31,656
- See...
- 54
- 00:08:31,689 --> 00:08:36,365
- My tent. I won this.
- 55
- 00:08:36,398 --> 00:08:37,400
- You any good...
- 56
- 00:08:37,434 --> 00:08:38,670
- At gambling?
- 57
- 00:08:38,703 --> 00:08:41,543
- Oh yeah, I’m the best.
- 58
- 00:08:41,576 --> 00:08:44,448
- There are no good gamblers.
- 59
- 00:08:44,481 --> 00:08:46,653
- Hmm.
- 60
- 00:09:30,541 --> 00:09:31,909
- Where y’all boys from?
- 61
- 00:09:31,943 --> 00:09:33,813
- Andersonville from what I hear.
- 62
- 00:09:33,847 --> 00:09:37,320
- They treatin ya good there?
- 63
- 00:09:37,354 --> 00:09:39,291
- Don’t worry, we’ll treat ya good
- here too Yanks.
- 64
- 00:09:39,324 --> 00:09:46,472
- As long as y’all behave.
- 65
- 00:09:51,549 --> 00:09:59,549
- Keep moving you Yankees.
- 66
- 00:10:06,044 --> 00:10:14,044
- Boys, welcome to Florence
- Stockade.
- 67
- 00:10:21,075 --> 00:10:22,009
- I see a spot.
- 68
- 00:10:22,043 --> 00:10:25,584
- Follow me.
- 69
- 00:10:25,617 --> 00:10:26,953
- It’s right there.
- 70
- 00:10:26,986 --> 00:10:28,456
- It’s closest to the woods.
- 71
- 00:10:28,489 --> 00:10:30,025
- Were going to have to act
- quickly,
- 72
- 00:10:30,059 --> 00:10:32,297
- may not be long before
- the stockade is finished.
- 73
- 00:10:32,330 --> 00:10:34,702
- Tom you fool, look how many
- guards there are.
- 74
- 00:10:34,735 --> 00:10:36,839
- It’s worth a chance.
- 75
- 00:10:36,873 --> 00:10:38,710
- Chance to get killed.
- 76
- 00:10:38,743 --> 00:10:40,581
- I won’t be shot on the count of
- you boys.
- 77
- 00:10:40,614 --> 00:10:47,661
- Come on.
- 78
- 00:10:47,695 --> 00:10:51,535
- Right here.
- 79
- 00:11:25,737 --> 00:11:28,610
- That’s a nice book you got
- there.
- 80
- 00:11:28,643 --> 00:11:31,983
- Diary?
- 81
- 00:11:32,016 --> 00:11:36,959
- That paper can fetch a real good
- price in here.
- 82
- 00:11:36,993 --> 00:11:40,533
- More than those newspaper
- shreds you’ve been trading.
- 83
- 00:11:40,566 --> 00:11:48,566
- It’s not for trade, or for sale.
- 84
- 00:11:52,691 --> 00:11:57,167
- Never said it was.
- 85
- 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,809
- You hear them whistles?
- 86
- 00:12:01,843 --> 00:12:03,546
- Raiders.
- 87
- 00:12:03,579 --> 00:12:08,222
- I figured so.
- 88
- 00:12:08,256 --> 00:12:13,633
- Just like Andersonville.
- 89
- 00:12:13,667 --> 00:12:16,773
- Sounds organized.
- 90
- 00:12:16,806 --> 00:12:19,211
- Suppose they’re feeding on the
- weakness and fears of other prisoners.
- 91
- 00:12:19,244 --> 00:12:20,747
- We’ve got ourselves a runner!
- 92
- 00:12:29,564 --> 00:12:31,869
- Might want to keep that diary
- close.
- 93
- 00:12:31,903 --> 00:12:33,973
- You never know who might be
- interested in getting their
- 94
- 00:12:34,007 --> 00:12:36,578
- hands on that thing.
- 95
- 00:12:44,194 --> 00:12:48,602
- Sounds like someone weren’t so
- lucky.
- 96
- 00:14:00,045 --> 00:14:01,147
- You find anything?
- 97
- 00:14:01,182 --> 00:14:03,151
- Quiet, keep a look out
- 98
- 00:14:03,186 --> 00:14:06,492
- Hey!
- 99
- 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:14,875
- Alright, he’s coming to.
- 100
- 00:14:14,909 --> 00:14:17,314
- Joseph!
- 101
- 00:14:17,347 --> 00:14:18,382
- You alive?
- 102
- 00:14:18,416 --> 00:14:22,224
- You alive, Joseph?
- 103
- 00:14:22,257 --> 00:14:25,062
- It looks that way.
- 104
- 00:14:25,095 --> 00:14:31,508
- Ha, let’s get you up.
- 105
- 00:14:31,542 --> 00:14:35,316
- Here.
- 106
- 00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:38,188
- How you feelin?
- 107
- 00:14:38,222 --> 00:14:40,894
- Like there is an artillery
- battery in my head.
- 108
- 00:14:40,927 --> 00:14:42,798
- Well that aint a surprise.
- 109
- 00:14:42,831 --> 00:14:45,303
- You tried to block that raiders
- club with it.
- 110
- 00:14:45,336 --> 00:14:47,574
- Who taught him how to fight
- anyway.
- 111
- 00:14:47,607 --> 00:14:51,147
- Tom, just leave him be.
- 112
- 00:14:51,181 --> 00:14:53,386
- Joseph had himself a right row.
- 113
- 00:14:53,419 --> 00:14:54,989
- Yea, and where were you?
- 114
- 00:14:55,022 --> 00:14:57,294
- Leave me to protect the tent all
- by myself.
- 115
- 00:14:57,327 --> 00:14:59,464
- Protect?
- 116
- 00:14:59,498 --> 00:15:01,836
- Tom, you were sleeping.
- 117
- 00:15:01,869 --> 00:15:04,007
- Did they get off... Did they get
- off with anything?
- 118
- 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,376
- No.
- 119
- 00:15:05,410 --> 00:15:07,447
- No they didn’t.
- 120
- 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,017
- After that one clubbed you
- down...
- 121
- 00:15:09,050 --> 00:15:11,054
- I laid into him, I laid into him
- hard Joseph.
- 122
- 00:15:11,087 --> 00:15:12,357
- He put up quite a struggle.
- 123
- 00:15:12,390 --> 00:15:14,962
- Must have been Irish tough from
- New York City.
- 124
- 00:15:14,995 --> 00:15:17,500
- Probably one of those Raiders we
- heard whistling the other night.
- 125
- 00:15:17,534 --> 00:15:19,571
- New York Bastard.
- 126
- 00:15:19,604 --> 00:15:22,410
- The loyalty.
- 127
- 00:15:22,444 --> 00:15:25,483
- Anyway...
- 128
- 00:15:25,516 --> 00:15:29,324
- We pulled this off of him.
- 129
- 00:15:29,358 --> 00:15:36,338
- Thought you might not want to
- get rid of it just yet.
- 130
- 00:15:36,372 --> 00:15:38,108
- Thank you, Tom.
- 131
- 00:15:38,141 --> 00:15:39,143
- You’re welcome buddy.
- 132
- 00:15:39,177 --> 00:15:40,680
- Drink up.
- 133
- 00:15:40,713 --> 00:15:47,059
- I’m gonna finish my nap.
- 134
- 00:16:33,118 --> 00:16:34,621
- I’ve been thinkin...
- 135
- 00:16:34,654 --> 00:16:38,362
- What we need is trickery.
- 136
- 00:16:38,396 --> 00:16:40,400
- What?
- 137
- 00:16:40,433 --> 00:16:42,169
- Trickery.
- 138
- 00:16:42,203 --> 00:16:44,741
- Ya know, like an ace up your
- sleeve.
- 139
- 00:16:44,775 --> 00:16:49,518
- We need to find a way to steal
- ourselves right outta this camp.
- 140
- 00:16:49,551 --> 00:16:52,089
- What ace?
- 141
- 00:16:52,123 --> 00:16:55,696
- You seen that line of confederates,
- right beyond the perimeter?
- 142
- 00:16:55,730 --> 00:16:57,768
- Yea, what about em?
- 143
- 00:16:57,801 --> 00:16:59,404
- Well...
- 144
- 00:16:59,438 --> 00:17:03,211
- There is another line 20 paces
- after them,
- 145
- 00:17:03,245 --> 00:17:05,817
- and another one 20 paces after
- that,
- 146
- 00:17:05,851 --> 00:17:08,188
- and so on, and so on...
- 147
- 00:17:08,221 --> 00:17:10,192
- Day and night.
- 148
- 00:17:10,225 --> 00:17:11,829
- You heard the gunshots.
- 149
- 00:17:11,863 --> 00:17:14,100
- Men trying to make a run for it.
- 150
- 00:17:14,133 --> 00:17:16,204
- Which is why we need
- the trickery.
- 151
- 00:17:16,237 --> 00:17:18,576
- What has gotten into you Tom?
- 152
- 00:17:18,609 --> 00:17:22,284
- This is not Andersonville, but
- we are far from freedom.
- 153
- 00:17:22,317 --> 00:17:24,521
- They’re building our new
- stockade as we speak.
- 154
- 00:17:24,554 --> 00:17:29,731
- Ain’t no amount of trickery that’s
- gonna get us out of that one.
- 155
- 00:17:29,764 --> 00:17:32,304
- Even so...
- 156
- 00:17:32,337 --> 00:17:35,710
- We’ve been here four days now,
- 157
- 00:17:35,743 --> 00:17:37,347
- and I’ve been watching.
- 158
- 00:17:37,380 --> 00:17:40,219
- Just as well as either of you
- boys.
- 159
- 00:17:40,252 --> 00:17:44,494
- The Greybacks have got this camp
- covered.
- 160
- 00:17:44,528 --> 00:17:48,369
- Dying is the only way were getting
- free before this war is over.
- 161
- 00:17:48,402 --> 00:17:50,306
- I don’t know...
- 162
- 00:17:50,340 --> 00:17:52,845
- I have an idea.
- 163
- 00:17:52,878 --> 00:17:54,949
- We get a case of the quickstep.
- 164
- 00:17:54,982 --> 00:17:57,654
- Hm, enough of your tomfoolery.
- 165
- 00:17:57,687 --> 00:18:00,693
- Dysentery?
- 166
- 00:18:00,726 --> 00:18:03,599
- Ok you officially have gone mad.
- 167
- 00:18:03,632 --> 00:18:06,338
- Are you an idiot, of course I
- don’t mean it literally.
- 168
- 00:18:06,372 --> 00:18:09,744
- What is literature have to do
- with dysentery?
- 169
- 00:18:09,778 --> 00:18:11,415
- It’s just for pretend.
- 170
- 00:18:11,448 --> 00:18:12,684
- We’ll be close to the woods.
- 171
- 00:18:12,717 --> 00:18:15,756
- The Reb guys don’t watch that
- area too close.
- 172
- 00:18:15,790 --> 00:18:18,596
- So we pretend we like dysentery?
- 173
- 00:18:18,629 --> 00:18:21,903

- You see it?
- 178
- 00:18:29,518 --> 00:18:32,624
- It’s that white building right
- over there.
- 179
- 00:18:32,657 --> 00:18:35,262
- Quickstep is the trick.
- 180
- 00:18:35,295 --> 00:18:38,301
- We get into the hospital, we’ll
- be closer to the woods.
- 181
- 00:18:38,336 --> 00:18:42,577
- The Reb’s don’t watch that area
- too close.

- With the three of us taken
- ill...
- 198
- 00:19:29,070 --> 00:19:30,941

- for causing an outbreak for
- 199
- 00:19:30,974 --> 00:19:37,888
- the whole camp, do ya?

- Are you mad? How do you reckon?
- 277
- 00:27:08,088 --> 00:27:11,427
- We are deep in confederate terr.

- moment that we are expected
- 290
- 00:27:56,451 --> 00:28:01,494
- to go back into battle and risk.
- 291
- 00:28:01,527 --> 00:28:05,903

- The Union’s held a garrison pos.
- 420
- 00:39:43,197 --> 00:39:51,197
- At least it hasn’t fallen back.
- 421
- 00:39:51,413 --> 00:39:55,321
- You trust these slaves?
- 422
- 00:39:55,354 --> 00:39:59,563
- I haven’t thought not to.
- 423
- 00:39:59,597 --> 00:40:01,934
- I don’t like the way they look.
- 424
- 00:40:01,968 --> 00:40:03,905

- Well?
- 429
- 00:40:17,967 --> 00:40:25,014
- It’s a risk we have to take.
- 430
- 00:40:25,048 --> 00:40:26,985
- I like your pipe.
- 431
- 00:40:27,018 --> 00:40:31,393
- I thought that was in my havers.

- Used to.
- 434
- 00:40:39,276 --> 00:40:41,614
- It was a bad hand.
- 435
- 00:40:41,647 --> 00:40:47,258
- There are no good gamblers Tom.
- 436
- 00:40:57,579 --> 00:41:01,020

- I think we’re clear of the succh
- 456
- 00:44:28,801 --> 00:44:30,070
- I don’t want to risk it.
- 457
- 00:44:30,104 --> 00:44:31,106
- We’ve come at least two miles Jh

- 459
- 00:44:33,144 --> 00:44:36,851
- Tom, I’m as tired as you are.
- 460

- Tom, we don’t know who’s barn t

- 01:13:45,613 --> 01:13:52,126
- We escape from a secession.
- We’re headed back to the union.
- 773
- 01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,030
- What are Yankees doing in the
- South?
- 774
- 01:13:54,064 --> 01:13:56,569
- The war done come here?
- 775
- 01:13:56,602 --> 01:14:02,914

- this one is a runaway,
- 776
- 01:14:02,947 --> 01:14:10,947
- tried to help us. Please.
- 777
- 01:14:11,565 --> 01:14:17,511
- Never thought ld see the day...
- 778
- 01:14:17,544 --> 01:14:22,587
- Well, come on over here and get
- by the fire.
- 779
- 01:14:22,621 --> 01:14:26,962
- Anna, bring out a blanket for
- this one.
- 780
- 01:14:26,996 --> 01:14:30,469
- You can get ya and eat ya some
- yams and stew.
- 781
- 01:14:30,503 --> 01:14:33,709
- And fetch them some pone cakes.
- 782
- 01:14:47,737 --> 01:14:55,219
- He watched his mother get beaten
- to death. We all saw it.
- 783
- 01:14:55,252 --> 01:15:01,665
- Her master caught her trying to
- hide us.
- 784
- 01:15:03,302 --> 01:15:07,076
- That’s an awful thing...
- 785
- 01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:14,691
- But you must trust that the Lord
- giveth and the Lord taketh away
- 786
- 01:15:14,725 --> 01:15:21,304
- To live is to suffer and yet,
- we’ll do almost anything to survive.
- 787
- 01:15:22,306 --> 01:15:25,112
- It’s strange isn’t it.
- 788
- 01:15:25,146 --> 01:15:29,287
- You just have to do the best we
- can.
- 789
- 01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:31,759
- That act of defiance...
- 790
- 01:15:31,792 --> 01:15:34,397
- harboring you three...
- 791
- 01:15:34,430 --> 01:15:42,430
- was probably the freest thing
- that poor mans mother ever did.
- 792
- 01:15:46,354 --> 01:15:49,795
- I think I broke his nose.
- 793
- 01:15:49,828 --> 01:15:52,166
- That man who did it to her.
- 794
- 01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,439
- And I tell ya what...
- 795
- 01:15:55,472 --> 01:16:02,320
- I wish I’d killed him.
- 796
- 01:16:04,691 --> 01:16:09,534
- The same kind of feeling is in
- those flames.
- 797
- 01:16:09,568 --> 01:16:12,541
- If you watch them close...
- 798
- 01:16:12,574 --> 01:16:15,680
- They do what they will.
- 799
- 01:16:15,713 --> 01:16:18,953
- They going this way and that.
- 800
- 01:16:18,986 --> 01:16:24,164
- But they can’t go to far without
- going out.
- 801
- 01:16:28,706 --> 01:16:31,612
- You want to make New Bern.
- 802
- 01:16:32,614 --> 01:16:35,787
- Yeah, that’s what we figure.
- 803
- 01:16:35,820 --> 01:16:40,296
- Heard that there’s a union
- garrison over there.
- 804
- 01:16:41,298 --> 01:16:46,374
- There’s a lot of free and escaped
- slaves help folks out along the way.
- 805
- 01:16:46,408 --> 01:16:48,746
- Follow directions...
- 806
- 01:16:48,779 --> 01:16:52,754
- you’ll be alright.
- 807
- 01:17:54,778 --> 01:17:57,951
- Looks like our tree.
- 808
- 01:17:57,984 --> 01:18:00,088
- On a hill next to a wall.
- 809
- 01:18:00,122 --> 01:18:03,629
- Just like that negro said it
- would be.
- 810
- 01:18:03,663 --> 01:18:06,134
- Ain’t that something.
- 811
- 01:18:11,544 --> 01:18:14,450
- Wonder where he is?
- 812
- 01:18:17,857 --> 01:18:20,529
- He’ll be here.
- 813
- 01:18:26,007 --> 01:18:32,085
- Well... nothing to do now but...
- 814
- 01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:33,422
- Wait
- 815
- 01:18:43,876 --> 01:18:47,884
- Your mother was a strong woman.
- 816
- 01:18:47,917 --> 01:18:51,625
- My mother passed when I was
- young.
- 817
- 01:18:51,659 --> 01:18:59,174
- There was thirteen of us plus my pa.
- So, we took care for each other.
- 818
- 01:18:59,207 --> 01:19:02,781
- But my two older sisters, they
- did most of the mothering
- 819
- 01:19:02,814 --> 01:19:06,621
- after she was gone.
- 820
- 01:19:06,655 --> 01:19:14,655
- All do respect Mr. Joseph, You ain’t
- never seen your momma get beaten to death.
- 821
- 01:19:15,339 --> 01:19:18,846
- Jim, I’m sorry.
- 822
- 01:19:18,879 --> 01:19:22,553
- I’s the only one of my momma’s.
- 823
- 01:19:22,586 --> 01:19:28,097
- She miscarried five-six times
- before I was born.
- 824
- 01:19:28,131 --> 01:19:32,005
- Then Master Daniel’s sold me
- away when I was twelve.
- 825
- 01:19:32,039 --> 01:19:38,853
- Left her all alone.
- 826
- 01:19:38,886 --> 01:19:43,863
- It’s a terrible thing.
- 827
- 01:19:43,896 --> 01:19:48,071
- I feel terrible for what
- happened.
- 828
- 01:19:48,104 --> 01:19:51,644
- Why’d it happen?
- 829
- 01:19:51,679 --> 01:19:55,085
- Why’d I have to go back?
- 830
- 01:19:55,118 --> 01:20:01,932
- She’d still be alive If I ain’t
- never go back.
- 831
- 01:20:04,170 --> 01:20:08,946
- Maybe it’s like that old slave
- said,
- 832
- 01:20:08,979 --> 01:20:12,887
- "The Lord works in his own ways
- 833
- 01:20:15,827 --> 01:20:21,371
- How is this the Lord’s way?
- 834
- 01:20:23,776 --> 01:20:27,751
- Your mother made a great
- sacrifice.
- 835
- 01:20:27,784 --> 01:20:31,291
- You have a greater purpose now.
- 836
- 01:20:31,324 --> 01:20:39,324
- We all do.
- 837
- 01:21:05,292 --> 01:21:09,267
- Jim, where are you going?
- 838
- 01:21:09,300 --> 01:21:11,805
- Is a creek up the way...
- 839
- 01:21:11,839 --> 01:21:13,442
- I’m thirsty.
- 840
- 01:21:13,475 --> 01:21:16,815
- Well here, take this then.
- 841
- 01:21:16,849 --> 01:21:24,397
- Bring us back some fire wood in
- case he’s not here before dark.
- 842
- 01:21:35,552 --> 01:21:37,924
- Easy boys.
- 843
- 01:21:37,957 --> 01:21:43,034
- Y’all have a nice nap.
- 844
- 01:21:43,067 --> 01:21:47,610
- What y’all doing here in a known
- negro meeting place huh?
- 845
- 01:21:47,643 --> 01:21:49,948
- Hi there boys.

- Where are you from?

- 01:21:56,995 --> 01:21:58,866
- From Maine actually.
- 850
- 01:21:58,899 --> 01:22:00,970
- Is that a crime here now in
- South Carolina?
- 851
- 01:22:01,003 --> 01:22:03,174
- This here is North Carolina.
- 852
- 01:22:03,207 --> 01:22:06,414
- You probably can’t tell the difference
- seeing as you’s from the north.
- 853
- 01:22:06,448 --> 01:22:08,218
- This is North Carolina...
- 854
- 01:22:08,252 --> 01:22:10,322
- Near Kenansville up yonder
- maybe.
- 855
- 01:22:10,356 --> 01:22:11,925
- Half a day.
- 856
- 01:22:11,959 --> 01:22:14,965
- Why you talking so much?
- 857
- 01:22:14,998 --> 01:22:17,035
- And what are y’all doing here?
- 858
- 01:22:17,069 --> 01:22:19,407
- Like I said gentlemen, resting
- under this here tree.
- 859
- 01:22:19,440 --> 01:22:22,179
- Now less I missed my guess...
- 860
- 01:22:22,212 --> 01:22:26,187
- That is against no law, not even
- here in confederate territory.
- 861
- 01:22:26,220 --> 01:22:28,525
- No it’s not.
- 862
- 01:22:28,558 --> 01:22:32,400
- Now what are y’all doing so far
- from home?
- 863
- 01:22:32,433 --> 01:22:34,670
- We are on a little business
- trip.
- 864
- 01:22:34,704 --> 01:22:37,142
- My partner and I are on our way
- to Charleston.
- 865
- 01:22:37,175 --> 01:22:39,380
- Ehya!

- Sixth battalion North Carolina
- cavalry company A.
- 880
- 01:24:09,327 --> 01:24:11,331
- Where are your horses?
- 881
- 01:24:11,364 --> 01:24:17,643
- We left em in town. Came out to
- find some negro we heard talk of.
- 882
- 01:24:17,676 --> 01:24:21,284
- Where’s your company now?
- 883
- 01:24:21,318 --> 01:24:24,424
- Answer or my friend may shot
- you.
- 884
- 01:24:24,457 --> 01:24:28,298
- Well that is contrary to the
- rules of civilized warfare.
- 885
- 01:24:28,332 --> 01:24:31,638
- I am your prisoner, you can not
- shoot me.
- 886
- 01:24:31,671 --> 01:24:35,245
- I’ve seen my share of the rebels
- appreciation for the rules of war.
- 887
- 01:24:35,278 --> 01:24:37,516
- We spent over four months in
- Andersonville.
- 888
- 01:24:37,550 --> 01:24:39,955
- You may have heard of it.
- 889
- 01:24:39,988 --> 01:24:42,460
- Suffered horrible from your so
- called hospitality.
- 890
- 01:24:42,493 --> 01:24:43,796
- You killed two of us.
- 891
- 01:24:43,829 --> 01:24:44,931
- I’ll kill one more.
- 892
- 01:24:44,965 --> 01:24:46,768
- Killing is never pleasant.
- 893
- 01:24:46,802 --> 01:24:50,409
- Let’s not have to do more of it.
- 894
- 01:24:50,442 --> 01:24:52,814
- Our company is stationed in
- Kinston.
- 895
- 01:24:52,847 --> 01:24:54,851
- Just a few hours ride from here.
- 896
- 01:24:54,885 --> 01:24:56,654
- So what are you doing out here?
- 897
- 01:24:56,688 --> 01:25:00,930
- We was just scouts. Outliners,
- we was on patrol.
- 898
- 01:25:00,963 --> 01:25:02,766
- On patrol?
- 899
- 01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:05,739
- And here you say you were
- looking for a negro.
- 900
- 01:25:05,772 --> 01:25:10,248
- We were gonna met someone here.
- 901
- 01:25:10,281 --> 01:25:13,488
- I knew you was contraband
- escaped.
- 902
- 01:25:13,522 --> 01:25:16,561
- You two are helping a negro
- runaway.
- 903
- 01:25:22,305 --> 01:25:25,379
- See, it don’t matter no how.
- 904
- 01:25:25,412 --> 01:25:30,389
- We done killed your negro that’s
- helping.
- 905
- 01:25:30,422 --> 01:25:32,025
- You got no where to go to now.
- 906
- 01:25:32,059 --> 01:25:39,374
- Broke that link in your chain.
- 907
- 01:25:39,407 --> 01:25:40,977
- Tom get the rope.
- 908
- 01:25:41,010 --> 01:25:49,010
- Jim, hand me this fella’s
- clothes.
- 909
- 01:26:01,484 --> 01:26:04,123
- Give us an hour.
- 910
- 01:26:04,156 --> 01:26:09,534
- If I hear you hollering, I will
- come back and shot you.
- 911
- 01:26:09,567 --> 01:26:12,874
- Your friends will be a long soon
- enough.
- 912
- 01:26:12,907 --> 01:26:14,510
- Understood?
- 913
- 01:26:14,544 --> 01:26:16,714
- This is intolerable.
- 914
- 01:26:16,748 --> 01:26:18,585
- Yes, it is.
- 915
- 01:26:18,618 --> 01:26:20,722
- I still think we outta just shot
- him.
- 916
- 01:26:20,756 --> 01:26:28,756
- Be safer. What if someone comes
- and wanders along?
- 917
- 01:26:30,576 --> 01:26:34,584
- Which way to New Bern?
- 918
- 01:26:34,617 --> 01:26:37,790
- I will not ask you again.
- 919
- 01:26:37,823 --> 01:26:45,823
- It’s northeast of here. Maybe
- three days.
- 920
- 01:26:59,266 --> 01:27:05,712
- Here.
- 921
- 01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:17,720
- Justa minute.
- 922
- 01:27:18,037 --> 01:27:22,212
- I’ma stay with him.
- 923
- 01:27:22,245 --> 01:27:24,717
- Jim, you can’t stay here. You’ll
- get caught.
- 924
- 01:27:24,750 --> 01:27:27,556
- I keeps him quiet for ya.
- 925
- 01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:30,796
- Sides, somebody gotta go on
- back.
- 926
- 01:27:30,829 --> 01:27:34,003
- Warn others that confederates
- know about that tree.
- 927
- 01:27:34,036 --> 01:27:36,674
- You’re contraband Jim.
- 928
- 01:27:36,708 --> 01:27:38,578
- They will hang you.
- 929
- 01:27:38,612 --> 01:27:41,651
- I know.
- 930
- 01:27:41,684 --> 01:27:44,857
- But it’s like Mr. Joseph say,
- 931
- 01:27:44,891 --> 01:27:47,997
- "We all gotta purpose."
- 932
- 01:27:48,031 --> 01:27:51,270
- I could’t free my momma.
- 933
- 01:27:51,303 --> 01:27:58,953
- But they’s other folks thats
- needs helping.
- 934
- 01:27:58,986 --> 01:28:05,231
- It does seem that there are quite a few
- escaped slaves helping others to freedom.
- 935
- 01:28:05,265 --> 01:28:10,910
- I ain’t meaning to be one of
- them, but I is.
- 936
- 01:28:10,943 --> 01:28:13,715
- I ain’t mean to run away...
- 937
- 01:28:13,748 --> 01:28:18,993
- I ain’t terrible religious.
- 938
- 01:28:19,026 --> 01:28:27,026
- But it seems God has chosen this
- new path for me.
- 939
- 01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:38,732
- You’ll need this.
- 940
- 01:28:38,765 --> 01:28:42,139
- Never forget you Jim.
- 941
- 01:28:42,172 --> 01:28:45,011
- You’re the bravest man I’ve ever
- known.
- 942
- 01:28:45,045 --> 01:28:53,045
- Thank you Mr. Joseph.
- 943
- 01:28:56,267 --> 01:29:00,241
- Thanks Jim... Take care of
- yourself.
- 944
- 01:29:00,275 --> 01:29:07,723
- We wouldn’t have come this far
- without you.
- 945
- 01:29:18,545 --> 01:29:23,087
- Here...
- 946
- 01:29:23,121 --> 01:29:31,070
- Protect yourself.
- 947
- 01:30:51,698 --> 01:30:59,698
- They’re off the ridge.
- 948
- 01:31:18,351 --> 01:31:20,055
- Hold Fire.
- 949
- 01:31:20,088 --> 01:31:21,624
- Hold.
- 950
- 01:31:21,658 --> 01:31:25,198
- We can’t just walk up through
- the line.
- 951
- 01:31:25,231 --> 01:31:27,102
- These uniforms may look
- familiar...
- 952
- 01:31:27,135 --> 01:31:31,010
- But they’ll know we’re not one
- of them.
- 953
- 01:31:31,043 --> 01:31:33,347
- Should we just go around?
- 954
- 01:31:33,381 --> 01:31:37,489
- No, they’ll take us for
- deserters.
- 955
- 01:31:37,523 --> 01:31:39,727
- Well, you better come up with a
- better suggestion.
- 956
- 01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:46,541
- Cause I can’t keep moving on
- like this.
- 957
- 01:31:46,574 --> 01:31:49,680
- If the rebs are up there...
- 958
- 01:31:49,714 --> 01:31:55,391
- The union... the union’s gonna be
- right behind that hill.
- 959
- 01:31:55,425 --> 01:31:57,830
- Hey, quiet down.
- 960
- 01:31:57,863 --> 01:31:59,466
- We’re under orders.

- Hey, ain’t you boys suppose to
- up in the picket?

- No sir, we’re with another
- company.

- 01:32:09,453 --> 01:32:11,257
- Which company?
- 964
- 01:32:11,290 --> 01:32:14,697
- I ain’t heard no ones supposed
- to be down here.
- 965
- 01:32:14,730 --> 01:32:16,367
- We’re scouts.
- 966
- 01:32:16,400 --> 01:32:17,536
- Outriders.
- 967
- 01:32:17,570 --> 01:32:18,738
- Yeah, I know what scouts is.
- 968
- 01:32:18,772 --> 01:32:20,709
- Which company?
- 969
- 01:32:20,742 --> 01:32:27,856
- 7th battalion North Carolina.
- 970
- 01:32:27,890 --> 01:32:32,165
- There ain’t no 7th North
- Carolina calvary no more.
- 971
- 01:32:32,199 --> 01:32:35,271
- Hey, Union in the picket.
- 972
- 01:32:36,641 --> 01:32:38,511
- Union in the mine.
- 973
- 01:32:38,545 --> 01:32:42,653
- I see em.

- Reload.
- 975
- 01:33:13,615 --> 01:33:15,719
- 7th? They were with the 6th.
- 976
- 01:33:15,752 --> 01:33:17,590
- I couldn’t remember.
- 977
- 01:33:17,623 --> 01:33:19,359
- Well, we’re sitting ducks now.
- 978
- 01:33:19,393 --> 01:33:24,937
- Liable to get killed by both
- sides.
- 979
- 01:33:24,970 --> 01:33:26,674
- God almighty!
- 980
- 01:33:26,708 --> 01:33:28,511
- Hello!

- You’re wearing Confederate
- uniforms.

- We... we... we... we escaped.
- 990
- 01:33:48,585 --> 01:33:51,323
- Stole’em off some scouts a ways
- back.
- 991
- 01:33:51,357 --> 01:33:52,660
- We’re unarmed.
- 992
- 01:33:52,693 --> 01:33:54,463

- It’s incredible.
- 998

- Everyday we get slaves coming
- in.
- 999
- 01:34:30,168 --> 01:34:33,006
- Everyday. Sometimes by the
- score.
- 1000
- 01:34:33,040 --> 01:34:34,610
- There’s getting to be so many of

- Ain’t never had Union boys coming
- up from the deep south though.
- 1003
- 01:34:40,188 --> 01:34:42,492
- Listen up lad, you don’t know
- half the story.
- 1004
- 01:34:42,525 --> 01:34:44,396
- We could fill a book with all
- we’ve done.
- 1005

- 01:35:13,587 --> 01:35:14,990
- I hope he is well.
- 1017
- 01:35:15,024 --> 01:35:16,861
- Best negro I’ve ever met.
- 1018
- 01:35:16,894 --> 01:35:24,744
- Had more character to win a
- medal than most people I know.
- 1019
- 01:35:24,777 --> 01:35:27,950
- You’re doing the right thing
- Tom.
- 1020
- 01:35:27,983 --> 01:35:31,924
- This union can not stand until
- all men are free.
- 1021
- 01:35:31,958 --> 01:35:37,936
- And it can’t hold together
- unless each of us does our part.
- 1022
- 01:35:37,970 --> 01:35:42,746
- You’re right.
- 1023
- 01:35:42,780 --> 01:35:47,255
- Reckon that scout buried his
- friends.
- 1024
- 01:35:47,289 --> 01:35:52,599
- Na, figured he ran back to his
- unit with his tail between his leg.
- 1025
- 01:35:52,633 --> 01:35:58,778
- That or he deserted out of shame
- for being brought low by a slave.
- 1026
- 01:35:58,812 --> 01:36:03,086
- The way I see it...
- 1027
- 01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:06,661
- I don’t know what other way I
- see it.
- 1028
- 01:36:06,694 --> 01:36:09,333
- We’ve been through hell
- together.
- 1029
- 01:36:09,366 --> 01:36:12,673
- And it’s not over.
- 1030
- 01:36:12,706 --> 01:36:16,714
- I do feel the tide has turned
- though.
- 1031
- 01:36:16,748 --> 01:36:21,824
- I suspect so.
- 1032
- 01:36:21,858 --> 01:36:26,066
- I have a few hours before the
- ship departs.
- 1033
- 01:36:26,099 --> 01:36:31,142
- Reckon I should pay off some
- debts.
- 1034
- 01:36:31,177 --> 01:36:37,322
- You take care of yourself
- sergant Thomas Ryan.
- 1035
- 01:36:37,355 --> 01:36:38,858
- I’ll be seeing ya.
- 1036
- 01:36:38,892 --> 01:36:46,039
- And to you Sergant Hoover.
