Shenandoah (1911)
In this story of the Shenandoah Valley, a truthful incident of that beautiful region is narrated. It occurred at a time when General Milroy was in the valley. This officer was hated by the people of that section for the reason that his soldier's committed more depredations than any other command in the army. One day the home of a respectable family was invaded by three drunken soldiers, who among other vile things they did, attempted to desecrate a Confederate flag, which adorned a picture of the lady's deceased husband. She attempted to defend it against the miscreants with her late husband's sword, when at the moment a Union officer rushed in, kicked out the brutal soldiers and restored the insulted flag. By doing this, he won the admiration of the lady and her beautiful daughter. In revengeful spirits, the soldiers traitorously gave information to the Southern camp which brought a host of Confederates on the scene. Their leader was not liked by either of the ladies of the household. In the presence of the Union officer, the young daughter was given the alternative of marrying the Confederate leader or seeing the Union officer shot in an hour. Before the hour arrived, however, the bird had flown, and the volley fired into the room where he had been "trussed up" found lodgement in his old clothes, which had lied to deceive the wily guards. A negro and his "lady love" play important parts in the unfolding of the plot and their grotesque actions are laughable.
