[00:00:00]Sydney points a way back from the front lines and the fighting. He'll be an agitant running messages for General Grant.

[00:00:06]>> The war will take our son. Samus took Willie. It takes hundreds of boys a day.

[00:00:11]He'll die uselessly. And how will I ever forgive you?

[00:00:15]>> Robert will never forgive himself. You imagine he'll forgive us if we continue to stifle this very natural ambition.

[00:00:22]>> And if I refuse to take the high road, will you threaten me again with the mad house? I couldn't tolerate you grieving so for Willie because I couldn't permit it in myself. I wanted to crawl under the earth into the vault with his coffin. I still do.

[00:00:38]Every day I do. I must make my decisions. Bob must make his you yours and bear what we must hold and carry what we must. What I carry within me, you must allow me to do it alone as I must. And you alone, Mary, you alone may lighten this burden.
