Buster Keaton and Clyde Bruckman

“ The Southern army facing Chattanooga is ordered to retreat.
General Parker's victorious Northern army advancing.
"There is only one man on that engine."
In the enemy's country—hopelessly lost, helplessly cold and horribly hungry.
"At nine o'clock tomorrow morning our supply trains will meet and unite with General Parker's army at the Rock River bridge."
"Then the army, backed by our supply trains, will advance for a surprise attack on the rebels' left flank."
"Once our trains and troops cross that bridge, nothing on earth can stop us." ”

“ HOME
"Fort Sumter has been fired upon."
"Then the war is here."
"Yes, dad, and I'm going to be one of the first to enlist."
"Aren't you going to enlist?"
"Your name?"
"Johnnie Gray."
"Occupation?"
"Engineer on the Western and Atlantic Railroad."
"Don't enlist him. He is more valuable to the South as an engineer." ”
