Rice's Courier:
[just before Pickett's Charge to the center of the Federal line]
Colonel Rice has instructed me to tell you're relieved, sir.
Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain:
Relieved?
Rice's Courier:
Fresh troops are on their way up and they'll take over here, sir. Colonel Rice wants to give you people a rest. You are to fall back, and I am to show you the way.
Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain:
[to himself]
Fall back. Yes...
[turns to Ellis]
Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain:
Ellis, have the men fall in; we're moving out.
[to the courier]
Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain:
Where are we going?
Rice's Courier:
Oh, sir! Lovely spot. Very quiet. Safest place on the battlefield. Right smack-dab in the center.
