Hattiesburg

Hattiesburg is a town in Mississippi. United States troops did not get into Hattiesburg until the end of the Second Great War.

Jonathan Moss stopped in Hattiesburg for a one hour layover on this train ride to the Republic of Texas. He witnessed a confrontation between newly-arrived U.S. troops and Confederate troops who were initially defiant. When the U.S. troops raised their weapons, and viciously beat the most vocally defiant Confederate, the others back down.
