    Notes:

    Written by Hunter George:
    THE SONS OF CAP GEORGE
    By Quentin Cline
    This is a "teaser" for the short story I'm writing about the sons of Cornelius George and their experiences during the Civil War. I'm still in the process of writing the story, but hopeful this will "wet your whistle." Look for the story and a website dedicated to saving the old George Cabin. It's coming soon!
    I?m using Noten George to tell the story of each of the Sons. It should be noted that what the Sons say and the day to day activities are fictionalized, however the battles, the blood and the unbelievable hell they went through were real.
    ?
    NOTEN GEORGE-- ?I stared at that there ten dollar gold piece with a peculiar eye. Here they was, what was left of the whole Confederate government, givin? me a Yankee gold piece. Mighty peculiar... Now don?t you fret none, I took it quick and put it in my pocket. And that be where it stayed ?til I got myself back home to Pittsylvania County. That specie was like some kinda reward for all that meanness and bitter times got throwed on me. Come hell nor high water twern?t no way was I ever gonna spend it. Be like losin? my soul.?
    It was June 20th, 1861 that Hugh, one of the twins, took the wagon into Rorers to join up. He was the first of us George boys. Made no sense to me. Sure he wanted to fight them Yankees that was threatenin? to come down here and put us Southerners in our place. But Hugh was a cripple. Seems he fell outta a tree when he was eight or nine and busted up his leg right smart. Never the same since. Me and Ash told him they would not want him with that bum leg and all. It was a good two inches shorter than the other. He limped like a shoe-throwed mule. I reckon he went to sign up anyway. Prob?ly did it to prove he weren?t no cripple. His wife Lizzy cried and begged him not to go. But ol? Hugh was stubborn. He left her sobbin? in the dirt of the yard. He could be a might mean sometimes.
    When he gets to Rorers there was this line of boys signin? up and ol? Hugh gets right in there with the bunch of ?em. When his time comes Hugh eases up to them officers and tells him his name. They sign him in. Hugh musta been a grinnin? cause he was gonna be a soldier! But then he turns to walk away and they see him a limpin?. An officer calls him back. He gets told that unless he can run and keep up with the other men they cannot use him.
    Hugh says, ?I can keep up with any man!?
    So they put in a kinda race. Right then and there they make ol? Hugh run with four or five other fellas. It ain?t even close. Hugh straggles along only now he?s done gone and hurt himself and limpin? even more. They was about to take his name off of that there paper when Hugh begged them to leave it on. He says he can do it. Give him some time. That officer musta felt sad for ol? Hugh.
    He nodded, said, ?All right. Soon as you can run same as any man, we?ll take another look at you. We?ll put you down as sick for now.?
    So Hugh?s name stayed on them papers. And everyday for a month Hugh?d get outta bed, even ?fore breakfast, he?d go out to the road and run fast as his crippled leg would carry him. Weren?t good enough. One morn? he tossed back the covers, looked at that leg... Well, Lizzy told me later that ol? Hugh cried like a baby. He never tried to run again. But his name stayed on them papers. And I told him later I was proud of him. He joined up first. Yep, we was all proud of him
