We saw the lightning and that was the guns and then we heard the thunder and that was the big guns; and then we heard the rain falling and that was the blood falling; and when we came to get in the crops, it was dead men that we reaped. ~Harriet Tubmanon the Civil War during which she was a spy for the Union; In “Divided Houses,” Ch. 7 by Lyde Cullen Sizer, 1992
