Six Young Men

Lonely soldiers, far from home, fighting for a way of life that is the only way they 
have 
known. Maybe it is wrong but it is wrong to their thinking to have others push their 
ideals 
into a life that is not your own. The young soldiers will fight for their freedoms to the 
death...

Solid granite stone, bear above the ground, marking a spot along the wire road that 
will 
become a place called The Rock, Georgia. A little known battle raged there in the 
civil  war.
The soldiers decided their freedom had to be now, love beckoned the boys to their 
homes 
and sweethearts. Their lives ended at The Rock, execution style, fighting to go 
home. 
Abandoning their arms, to return to home and the ones who mattered most. War 
has their 
blood spread on The rock, and six simple unmarked graves along the road, 
forgotten...

Ideals lost, lives lost, love lost, forgotten graves of earth, in the shade of the oak 
tree.


This is about CSA graves at The Rock, Ga, that is all that is real, the rest is fiction.
