Excerpt/First Sentence(s):
"The Rebels are coming! They're on their way here!At once Abigail grew flustered, her face grew pale and she tried to struggle to her feet, crying out, "When'-where'" "Now you sit down there, Abigail." Sarah soothed her friend and eased her back into the chair. "It's all probably rumors. There's always plenty of those. We've heard them for days now." "It's no rumor this time," Jenny protested. "Mr. Thompson saw them. He was out on the Chambersburg Pike this morning, and he said they were camped all along the road there. There must be a million of them, he said."
