Confederate Stars

Famous quotes containing the words confederate and/or stars:

    During the Civil War the area became a refuge for service- dodging Texans, and gangs of bushwhackers, as they were called, hid in its fastnesses. Conscript details of the Confederate Army hunted the fugitives and occasional skirmishes resulted.
    —Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    And yet with neither love nor hate,
    Those stars like some snow-white
    Minerva’s snow-white marble eyes
    Without the gift of sight.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
