I think you will agree that the story of a fallen Confederate soldier mistakenly sent to Gray, Maine, where he continues to be remembered by the community is perfect material for a sesquicentennial-inspired song.

    I cannot help but notice the vast difference in treatment and attitude of this fallen and misplaced Confederate soldier and the one given in the ideal of raising a monument to Union dead at Olustee, Florida.

    Sincerely,
    Neil Hamilton
