That trickles down through the mountain
And separates the widow from the bride"

Kayak back to March 1862 with Frederic A. Moritz
for an eyewitness "blog" of the New Bern day

Reporting from under the bridge which carries the wounded
See where some wounded will be treated
"The Burnside" is more than a carbine
