A confederate soldier falls in love with a woman from the North. Set admidst the American Civil War, the book is a saga of love and adventure with a surprise ending!
"It was a bare, plain interior,—the low table at which he sat an unplaned board, his seat a box, made softer by a folded blanket. His only companions were two aides, standing silent beside the closed entrance, anxious to anticipate his slightest need.

To me the history of war has never contained his equal, and while I live I shall love and revere him as I can love and revere no other man."
