Letterpress Broadside Print in "Terra Firma" Folio
"Blue Grey
My father was only two in 1915 when he sat on Walter Denton's lap and heard the old man dragging in his heavy chain of breath, each link stuttering down the back of his throat. "Floyd," he whispered, saying the baby's name like a question, "look here," and he placed my father's hand on a scar the color of moonlight, a shrapnel wound from the Yankee boats that shelled Ft. Donelson. Then both of them began to cry, there in the ladder back chair someone had dragged into elm shade, away from the stifling house, until a woman came and saved them from each other, leaving one to go into the past and disappear, the other to follow by way of the future."Type of Print
