The Red Badge of Courage
Authorship not stated
A rumour reaches a mud-bound Union camp at dawn: the regiment moves tomorrow, and this time the word is certain. You play Henry Fleming, counting your cartridges twice and asking a veteran whether any training survives the first loud minute — while the friend beside you thumps his chest and swears he cannot picture himself running. Then an officer rides across the clearing with paper in his hand, and the order is ten minutes to form with full packs.
