Arrived at the big plantation, Old Pickett became familiar with the plow, the cart and the Gullah negro, and for twelve years led an uneventful life, buckling to the tough "joint grass" of the uplands in summer, and bogging pastern deep in winter as the slim plow- share slid through the sticky soil of the ricefields and turned the stubble into long greasy-looking furrows. While a willing worker, Old Pickett took her time and always "gang'd her ain gait. " She was nimble, too, with her heels, an...d the stable boys about the mule lot could always amuse themselves by throwing sticks or light clods of earth on Old Pickett's hindquarters to make her "kick up, " when she came in to be unhar- nessed after her day's work, and she was always ready to oblige. Wearing a blind bridle, she could not see behind her. But she was strong for the uplift, and 101 TEE BLACK BORDER whatever touched her in the rear had to go up, whether stick, or clod or stable boy!
Then the war ! In the dawn of an April morning, came the sound of the big guns in Charleston harbor thirty miles away, and, a few months later, from another direction, rolled the thunder of yet heavier and more distant guns, bombarding Port Royal, and still Old Pickett plowed and carted, and otherwise plodded in the ways of peace, but not for long.
