Unseen Enemies
With the war starting, horses were the main source of transportation, and horseflesh was going at a premium price. The Union was paying up to $178.00 per head. The Confederates object was: Why buy horses when you can steal them?
One officer rode ahead surveying the area. Charles called to Juan, Get me a white cloth and a long stick, I will parlay with them. But, I don t want them to see our fortifications. One lone rider in uniform walked his horse slowly out in front, while his main force stayed behind him out of firing distance .. The man narrowed his eyes and said, We have come for your horses!
Charles said, Sir, you may have our horses if you wish . The Captain looked at Charles suspiciously and said, If I wish what? Charles repeated his remark and added the rest of his words. Sir, I said you may have our horses if you wish to die!
The Captain s face blanched and then his face turned an ugly red as he struggled to speak with Charles. The Captain s hand slowly dropped down towards his gun and Charles added. Captain, if you touch your gun, you will be dead before you hit the ground.
