Description: 

Measuring the distance between 20th century Jefferson and its southern past, the narrator notes that the sons of the remaining Confederate veterans of the Civil War - "those tottering old men in gray" - had fought and died "in blue coats in Cuba," a reference to the Spanish-American War of 1898 (189).
