Excerpt from Cora O'kane: Or the Doom of the Rebel Guard, a Story of the Great Rebellion
Up to the time of which we are now writing, the Unionists and Secessionists of this vicinity had not come to any Open and serious rupture. The mutually exposed and accessible situation of their property had, in a great measure, tended to restrain the violent pas sions that were burning in their breasts, for they feared the injuries which each might do the other, and they well knew that, under the existing state of affairs, these injuries would be irreparable. But it was evident to all that the plot was thickening, and the time was not far distant when the mutterings and threatenings of the storm must be exchanged for the storm itself.
