At one point during the Civil War the body of a dead Yankee,
pierced with a pitchfork, was propped up at a Mississippi crossroads for weeks
for all to view. Not to be outdone, as it were, a Yankee burial party following
the battle of Antietam shortened their work by dumping the bodies of 57 dead
Rebels down the well of a Southern sympathizer.
