Legends Are Memories Greater than Memories

I begin with part of the actual text of the special field orders because I find many things about it noteworthy. First, the phrase “and a mule” is no where to be found—not in sections 1 and 3 above, not in sections 2, 4, 5, or 6 that are more concerned about loyalty to the Union and military service and defense. Second, this was a decidedly un-universal field order. The boundaries are clear: islands from Charleston, south, the abandoned rice fields along the rivers for thirty miles back from the sea, and the country bordering the St. Johns River, Florida, in other words, the sea islands on the coast of South Carolina and Georgia (These included Edisto, Hilton Head, Port Royal, St. Helena, and many other smaller islands that had been under Union control since 1861.) These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
