The unputdownable experiences of a group of human beings thrown into the American Civil War.

There's Usaph, stolid, friendly countryman; Gus Ramseur, music teacher; "old Bolly" with his air of worldly evil; Decatur Cate, reluctant recruit whose sympathies were with the North; General Tom Jackson, hypochondriac professor whom war had revealed a superlative fighter; Mrs Dora Whipple, dedicated matron of a military hospital and spy for the North: such are the heroes, nay, the human beings thrown together in a war tearing a country apart. With maps.
