Sometimes,
labeling something
as W, S, N, or E
is about as easy
as telling if a skull bone
is that of a horse,
mule, burro, or donkey.
But then again,
there are
pilgrims & programs
that proclaim themselves
proudly.
The Rebel (1959-61)
was oriented South,
pointing wherever went
a still-rebellious ex-Reb
trying to adapt
to a post-war landscape.
The Rough Riders (1958)
was a tale
of a Gray
riding with two Blues,
mixed musketeers meeting
post-bellum adventures.
In The Gray Ghost (1957-58),
The War of Northern Aggression
was still being valiantly repelled,
and with more color & zest
than exhibited
its Union counterpart
Mackenzie's Raiders (1957-59).
The Loner (1965)
was a bleak b&w
about a Northerner
curiously afflicted
by a clinical depression deeper
than any Confederate's.
