Chickamauga ou la riviere de la mort

Shows the boy engaging in a make-believe battle in the woods near his home and sleeping as the sounds of fighting indicate a skirmish in the area. Pictures the boy awaking and discovering wounded soldiers, his burning home, and his dead mother. Concludes with the child reacting to the horror by continuing his fantasy.
