It is a narrative of the Civil War and has nothing to do with Science Fiction. in a very loose sense, it might have inspired the song ( Green River) about a man who escapes from a hanging attempt ( as a form of capital punishment)- one line goes wonder if my rope"s still hanging in the trees- which I naively thought was something akin to a Tarzan swing. well that"s kids- it is like the story of the kid who was shown a photograph of a terror bombing in El Salvador and commented- not realizing what he was looking at- El Salvador has beautiful erupting volcanoes! how sad- and probable.
