"Pharaoh's Army"
In the sweat of thy face
shalt thou eat bread
Till thou return
unto the ground,
For out of it we was taken.
Dust thou art,
And unto dust
shalt thou return.
Heavenly father,
Pick this child up
on the healing side.
Put the grave behind
For the promise
on the other side,
That she might live
and abide with you.
When sister died,
There weren't none but
women and old men to bury her.
All of the able-bodied men
Had gone off
I know something
about the Civil War.
The story
I'm about to tell is true
As best I remember it.
We buried sister
in the spring of 1862.
Later that night,
Some Yankee bastards
dug her up
And tossed her out
like a rag doll,
On account of Paps
siding with the south.
In these
Cumberland mountains
Down near
the Tennessee line,
Half the folks
sided with the south,
The other half
sided with the north,
The neighbors turned
against their neighbors,
And it was rough
through here.
Giddyup.
Whoa.
We heard.
We can bury her again.
Israel can stand guard.
We're gonna
take her home.
There'll be hell
to pay.
So we brung sister
back home to our place
Up at the end
of Meshack Creek.
Ma was mad about things.
She held it in,
And we went on
With the work
of feeding ourselves.
Mama!
Mama!
Whoa!
Mama, men coming.
Yankees.
They'll steal
everything we got.
Will they hurt us?
Maybe not.
Go on! Go on!
Are you Sarah Anders?
I am.
Ma'am, they say
your husband's fighting
Against his country.
We have orders
to resupply
With contraband
from the enemy.
That means we'll take
forage provisions from you.
We got some hungry boys
down in Cumberland Gap.
I apologize
for your hardship.
How many you got here
with you?
How many?
Me and my boy.
Where is he?
Boy, you go stand
by your mother.
Come here.
Come here.
Ma'am, I will not hurt you
or your boy
If you give us no trouble.
All right.
Take no prisoners.
You got a nice place.
I got a piece
of bottomland
Across the River.
Ohio River.
Brown County, Ohio.
Raise hogs, corn,
sorghum, mostly.
You should stay there.
Ma'am?
Captain?
Uh, there weren't no hams
in the smokehouse.
And there's no cows or pigs
in the stall.
Just cow sh*t and pig sh*t.
Well,
see what's in there.
Mmm. Bread.
She don't own nigs.
He work like them.
What you think
he is fighting for?
Keep us from stealing
his chickens?
That's a good reason.
Sh*t!
Johnny dog.
Neely,
meet the elephant.
Sh*t...
That a fresh grave?
I'll tell where
our cow is.
Well, I've seen
She's up there.
Rodie!
Newt!
Captain?
A cow is
up there somewheres.
Neely, Chicago,
come on up.
Captain,
we take the mule?
Uhh...
No.
Ma'am, I apologize for
the things this war makes.
Ugh...
Aah!
Newt!
Oh! Oh, no!
Newt!
I fell off!
I fell off!
I fell off!
Roll him on his side.
Rodie, keep
that leg still!
All right, somebody...
Somebody get him
something to bite.
Oh, no! No!
Here, Newt,
chew on this.
You all ready?
1, 2, 3!
Oh, no!
Let's get him
to the house.
It hurts! It hurts.
Spin him!
There's a damn dog
under the bed.
Well, I'll kill
the sum'b*tch!
Neely,
rip up that pillowcase!
Yes, sir.
Ma'am, you got
some liniment oil?
No.
You got some whisky?
No.
Well,
can you boil water?
Get the turpentine
out of the harness shed.
Rodie,
get some water.
Neely, light
that damn fireplace.
Hold still!
What's she got
up there?
A ham and a rifle.
Captain?
All right,
all right, soldier.
All right, all right.
Settle down.
It burns, don't it?
