I looked up the definition of sward and this was the example of it in use:
"It was a blind and despairing rush by the collection of men in dusty and tattered blue, over a green sward and under a sapphire sky, toward a fence, dimly outlined in smoke, from behind which spluttered the fierce rifles of enemies." — Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage, 1895
I have never got around to reading "The Red Badge of Courage" but it is my next book for sure.

how does one detail a sward? how is it different than a grassy knoll?
