The Turn of We the People: Keep Moving

8/7/2026

Carolina Gamecock

2/13

Where were the Chestnuts from Johnny?
South Carolina, and it is Ches-nuts.
Chesnuts?
Right.
Is that a South Carolina thing?
French.
Didn't Elbridge mention Thomas Sumpter was Sumter.
Correct Yank.
The Carolina Gamecock.
A Spirit of ‘76.
Who defended the Constitution on 9 April 1792.
Usurpation Day.
The Congressional Record, according to Elbridge, lists Representative Thomas Sumpter as voting against the usurpation.
It says that Yank.
So Kotka becomes Koka.
If ya want Koka.
The goddesses said Keep Moving.
Just move.

Advice

They know us Reb.
All those empty chairs.
We never had it so fancy.
We stay in cemeteries mostly.
There and battlefields.
Which are basically cemeteries.
Comedy and Tragedy are like Snake and Turkey.
Morgan gave us a starting point Gus.
Berryville, Virginia.
And now Comedy and Tragedy gave us advice.
A sign.
Keep Moving.
Why did the Carolina Gamecock lose his p Johnny?
Could be the name meant too much.
Like how?
Could be the name was greater than Calhoun.
So misdirect from Sumpter's support of the thirty Thousand.
And away from Calhoun's treason.
The Chesnuts?
Yes.

Words

Start somewhere Johnny.
The Chesnuts were close to the Davises.
Trusted.
James Chesnut was loyal to Jeff.
How loyal?
James Chesnut was a person who deferred.
Okay.
Jeff needed people who deferred.
So they fit temperamentally.
Right on.
What of Mary Chesnut Johnny?
Mary had wit like Varina.
Compatible.
Was a writer like Varina.
Words.
Anti-slavery.
What!?
Anti-Black too.
I see why the Chestnuts are hard to explain.
Chesnuts.
Is that the entryway?
Careful Gus …

“You’re right about the quietude Gus.”
“Maybe Morgan was kidding?”
“About?”
“Snake and Turkey.”
“How so?”
“I was thinking maybe he meant we were Snake and Turkey.”
“I had the same thought.”
“I couldn’t figure out which one of us was which though.”
“Bit of both.”
“Seems like Morgan -”

Johnny Reb and Gus Yank RMH: Whoosh

[Whoosh.]

Johnny Reb and Gus Yank RMH: Wind

“- The wind?”
“Likely Yank.”
“Morgan?”
“Don’t know.”
“How ‘bout we step to Berryville Johnny?”
“Let’s.”
“Well, we’ll be seeing you Morgan.”
“You and the thirty Thousand.”
“Lead the way Reb.”
“Here we go …”

Johnny Reb and Gus Yank RMH: Grace

“… Berryville USA.”
“Nice landing.”
“Benjamin Berry.”
“Revolutionary.”
“Probably knew Daniel.”
“Oh?”
“Morgan’s home is just a few miles away.”
“They knew each other.”
“And Sarah.”
“What’s next Reb?”
“Grace.”
“Really?”
“Looks to be a cemetery.”
“Our way.”

Johnny Reb and Gus Yank RMH: Daniel

Part 7 of 13

“… There she is Reb.”
“Barely.”
“That’s plenty.”
“Agreed.”
“Let’s not turn our backs on Morgan this time.”
“What about Snake and Turkey Gus?”
“We haven’t done much with those signs he gave us.”
“No we haven’t.”
“We wore Turkey feathers.”
“Let’s not mention that.”
“We can say we’re working on them signs.”
“That’s true.”
“And we’ve just talked about them signs even.”
“Good one Gus.”
“Do you think he’ll say anything?”
“Last time was special.”
“So you’re saying no.”
“We’ll handle it either way.”
“Yup.”
“Forward Yank …”

Johnny Reb and Gus Yank RMH: Morgan

“… Halt.”
“Geez, don’t say ‘Present Arms’ Reb.”
“No rank, I remember.”
“Hello Morgan.”
[Silence.]
“Nothing Gus.”
“Smiling though.”
“Smiling last time.”
“I didn’t notice.”
“He was talking.”
“That I noticed.”
“I learned something Yank.”
“From a book or Tell-Lie-Vision?”
“Book.”
“Which one?”
“The Journal of the House of Representatives.”
“Real sleeper.”
“Zzzzs.”
“What’d you learn Reb?”
“There are Peacemakers and Mischief Makers.”
“Keep going.”
“Morgan was a Peacemaker, via war.”
“Okay.”
“Through revolution, made peace.”
“And you read about someone maybe mischief-making the peace?”
“Did.”
“Say more.”
“A Yank.”
“Who?”
“Representative …”

“Really Reb?”
“Yup.”
“Seems like yesterday.”
“Been a while Yank.”
“Two years.”

The Heal Union spring finale, LIMA.

Gus and Johnny Mt Horeb Goddess

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.

“Hey Gus!”
“Hey Reb!”

“You good?”
“Sure,” Gus hesitated, “though what’s Mt Horeb?”
“The name of the cemetery.”
“What does it mean?”
“Mt Horeb is Mt Sinai.”
“Two names -?”
“- For two sides of the same mountain.”
“Oh.”
“It’s God’s Mountain.”
“That’s the translation?”
“Right.”
“Moses got the commandments on Mt Sinai; what happened on the Mt Horeb side?”
“Elijah.”
“Prophet.”
“He went to God’s Mountain because he felt alone.”
“And?”
“He heard he wasn’t alone, that -”
“- I am with you.”
“Yeah – something like that,” paused Johnny; “This approach work?”
“Fair.”
“Whatcha’ see?”
“Twelve O’clock Goddess.”
“Me too.”
“What’s with the slab?”
“Shall we?”
“Let’s …”

Gus and Johnny Mt Horeb Slab

“An old monument.”
“One worth saving.”
“Read it Gus.”
“Sure. Major General Daniel Mor …”
“Morgan.”
“Thanks – Major General Daniel Morgan departed this life on July the 6th 1802 In the 67th year of his Age – He preceded us Johnny.”
“Thunderbolt of the Revolution.”
“Right – Patriotism and Valor were the …”
“Prominent.”
“… Prominent Features of his Character And - ”

Gus and Johnny Mt Horeb Spirit

“SONS.”
“General Morgan!”
“Drop the rank men: we’re all Sons here.”
“Yes sir,” said the Sons.
“What are you two doing?”
“Sir?”
“Lurking around the other day,” said the Thunderbolt, “goddess skirmishing today – what’s going on?”
“We’re here to see you,” Reb offered.
“For what?”
“Reb said you were someone I should – a Virginian Revolutionary.”
“A Yankee Doodle Dandy Rebel.”
“Yes,” said the Sons.
“That is understood, yet the question remains: what are Gus Yank and Johnny Reb going to do?”
“Do?” asked the Sons.
“A True American -”
“Sir?” interrupted the Sons.
“Listen, time is short: a True American is one who lives the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.”
Gus and Johnny were silent.
“You two need a sign, something Aesopic perhaps.”
“Okay,” said the Sons.
“Here then …”

Gus and Johnny's Mt Horeb Sign

“… What do you see Sons?”

“I see some things,” Gus answered.

“Me too,” Reb seconded.

“What do you see?” Thunderbolt furthered.

“Reb?”

“Two animal heads.”

“Me too,” Gus echoed.

“What kind of animals?” Thunderbolt asked.

“Gus?”

“Snake and Turkey.”

“Yeah, Snake and Turkey.”

“There’s your sign,” noted Thunderbolt.

“Where do we start?” asked the Sons.

“Winter – and start here …”

Gus and Johnny Berryville Spirit

“Berryville!?” blurted Gus, “what’s this place?”

“Small town a little bit from Winchester.”

“What was that?”

“Big Spirit,” spoke Johnny.

“Big Spirit gave us a sign.”

“It did.”

“A Juneteenth Aesopic Snake and Turkey sign,” summed Gus, “and Thunderbolt said winter.”

“Yes.”

“Guess we have some Virginia time Johnny …”

“Looks like it Gus …”

“Thanks for the spring time Reb!”
“Thanks for the spring time Yank!”

*The Union 2016 winter series begins 21 December 2015.

Ew Publishing has a couple of pamphlets and new science postings planned for the summer and fall.

Peace All.
