Shortly after the American Civil War, a passenger train carrying "northern reconstructionists" home from a convention in Atlanta was passing through northern Georgia when it was involved in a terrible crash. A pastor from a local town heard of this tragedy and went out to see if he could help. He arrived on the scene and surveyed the damage looking for some one to help. There he encountered a grizzled, ancient ex-confederate soldier who had been the first upon the scene. When he inquired about the passengers, the soldier said "Don't worry about that preacher, I done buried 'em." The pastor asked, "Weren't there any survivors"? The hoary warrior said "Well some of em said they was, but you know how bad them Yankees lie." Regards, WHH 55/38/37
