:27:02
It is not with joy or with a light heart
that many have welcomed secession.
:27:07
Had our neighbors to the North practiced
a less bellicose form of persuasion...
:27:12
...this day might not have come.
But that day has been thrust upon us...
:27:18
...like it was thrust upon our ancestors.
:27:22
The Lincoln administration required
us to raise three regiments.
:27:29
Tell them we have done so.
:27:35
Dismissed.
:27:40
Attention, company!
:27:50
- Good morning, sir.
- Reverend Pendleton.
:27:53
- How goes it with the artillery today?
- You're just in time for a christening.
:27:57
The men have decided to name the
howitzers: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
:28:03
I'm sure your men will spread the gospel
wherever they encounter the enemy.
:28:08
Has my son proven a worthy adjutant?
:28:11
I'm certain Captain Pendleton will prove
himself deserving of the family name.
:28:22
Thrust! Develop! Die!
:28:30
Captain White.
:28:32
How fare the scholars
of Washington College?
:28:34
Are they making their transition
from books to bullets?
:28:37
A few more days of drill, and my boys
will surpass the cadets of VMI.
:28:42
Drill, Professor White, drill and drill.
Remember Alexander in Anatolia.
:28:46
Caesar in Gaul. Napoleon in lberia.
:28:49
We march by day,
and read Xenophon by night.
:28:53
- We will be your Greek phalanx.
- Then you must begin with the bayonet.
:28:58
The bayonet must be for a Virginian
what the sarissa was for a Macedonian.
