The Last Reunion

"The Last Reunion" is a fictionalized account of the 1932 reunion of Confederate American Civil War veterans in Richmond, Virginia, attended by John Houston Thorpe, former captain of Company A of the Forty-Seventh North Carolina.

Thorpe spends a few nights talking and interacting with his fellow veterans, remembering the good and the bad of warfare. One night, after a joyous celebration and dancing, Thorpe dies in his sleep, and discovers that the men who died in battle during the Civil War still fight, although in a far more congenial way.
