The Battle of the Ball Field

This is a true fictional story that we tell at McCall.
      Back during the end of the Civil War there was a great battle that not many historians know about. It take place in the mountains of South Carolina, and to be more spacific it was on what is now the ball field of Camp McCall. The southern troops had occupied this field because there was a major northern trade route that passes through it. General Nathan Bedford Forrest, and his men set camp there, and kept the union army from getting war supplies, and other nessacisary supplies. They were very successful.
      One of the things that made the General so successful was the face that he befriended the chief of the McCall indians. The chief's name was Chief Agum Bugum, and him and Forrest had an agreement that at night the chief's worriors would watch the camp, and make sure no one could come up and surprise them in the dead of night. The other half of the aggreement was that Chiefs warriors did not have to fight, just simply warn them.
      Over a period of time the Chief and the General became very good friends, and they would spend many afternoons together sharing stories of back when. As time went on the northern army devised an attack plan, off of a spy they had, to get there trade route back. The attack was to take place at night on Apirl 17, 1864. The union troops tried the sneak up on confederates, and one of Chief warriors saw them, and warned the general.
      As the battle began the McCall indians stepped back and watched as it went on. The battle went on for two days. On the second day the brave General was wounded, and it appeared the confederates were going to lose. When the Chief saw his good friend go down he could not stand it any longer. Chief gathered his man and joined in on the battle. When they joined in it scared the union troops and many of them fled, and those that did not simply gave up. This battle was the turning point of the war and was ultimitly the reason the south won the war.
