Scenes of Other Days (1913)
At the battle of Piedmont Heights, one of the culminating episodes of Sherman's march to the sea, a wounded Confederate sharpshooter is saved from death and carried into the Northern lines by a Union scout. During the prisoner's convalescence, a warm friendship springs up between the two men, which is interrupted by the Southerner's return and the close of the war shortly afterward. Years later, the Northerner is robbed of his money on a train and forced to alight at Atlanta. He recognizes a gentleman at the station as his former captive and friend. The Southerner, with the characteristic hospitality of his race, immediately gives up all other affairs to suitably entertain his friend. After luncheon in the Southerner's comfortable home, the two men ride about the city in an automobile so the Northerner can see the prosperous city which has arisen from the smoking ashes Sherman left. The Peace monument in Piedmont Park, marking the spot of the desperate battle in which they met, is of course of the utmost interest to the two soldiers. To the ordinary spectator, the splendid public buildings, the shady streets, the towering skyscrapers, and the evident signs of business activity so typical of the new South will be even more interesting. In addition to numerous views of this beautiful and progressive city, characteristic pictures of the Hon. J.G. Woodward, Mayor of Atlanta, and of Governor Joseph M. Brown, governor of Georgia, are shown. Finally, after the Northern veteran has seen all the sights, and met most of the prominent people in the city, his generous friend lends him sufficient funds to continue his trip, takes him to the train, and wishes him Godspeed on his way. The Northerner leaves with a firm resolution to return for a longer visit to this delightful city of charming people.
