Around The Bend

"James Fowler Rusling (1834-1918) served for much of the Civil War as a staff officer in the Army of the Potomac. He ended his service as a brevet brigadier general. In this capacity, he had the opportunity to work alongside many senior commanders. He shared his observations in his 1889 book, "Men and Things I Saw in Civil War Days." Here's his take on Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, the western soldier who stood in stark contrast to his counterparts in the east."

A Staff Officer Reveals U.S. Grant's Two Secret Weapons
 
Moon River
Wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
Oh, dream maker
You old heartbreaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
Two drifters
Off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon River and me
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon River and me
 

Just around the next bend...........Jimmy Durante kicks the bucket!

Theme in Yellow​

By CARL SANDBURG

I spot the hills
With yellow balls in autumn.
I light the prairie cornfields
Orange and tawny gold clusters
And I am called pumpkins.
On the last of October
When dusk is fallen
Children join hands
And circle round me
Singing ghost songs
And love to the harvest moon;
I am a jack-o'-lantern
With terrible teeth
And the children know
I am fooling.
