Favourite Scene
I have various scenes I like, but this one in particular is my favourite.
My memory is hazy (saw it last many years ago) but as the expedition is setting off from the fort, we see:-
The Union contingent, all sprightly in blue, sitting upright and heartily singing "John Brown's Body lies a mouldring in his grave" - or something like that
then Jim Hutton and his precious cannon
then next, along come the Confederate contingent, in new grey uniforms and blue kepis, sitting upright and heartily singing "I wish I was in the land of cotton !!"
and in the rear, in their dirty old clothes, sweaty longjohns and crumpled slouch-hats, are the drunken teamsters, rolling about in their wagons heartily singing "Oh Ma Darlin, Oh Ma Darlin, Oh Ma Darlin Clementineeeee "- hic !"
LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!
