It was called "Slight Rebellion Off Madison" (a telling title in so
many ways!), bought by the NYer before the war, but not published until
after the war. I used it once in a writing class to make a point of what
a writer can do through revision and through a shift in the narrator's
point of view; if you read the two accounts side-by-side, it's a good
lesson in applied craftsmanship.
