Excerpt from Red Rock, Vol. 2: A Chronicle of Reconstruction
It was almost entirely destroyed once dur ing the war when a regiment of cavalry camped in the yard, continued the young hostess, and we thought it gone; but to our delight a little sprig put up next spring, and some day I hope this may be almost as good as the old one. She sighed, and her eyes rested on the horizon far away.
Ruth saw that the roses she had given her had come from that bush, and she would have liked to stretch out her arms and take her into a bond of hearty friendship.
