Over 600,000 casualties occurred during the American Civil War. Did 300,00 suffer needlessly because the wrong man was in charge? The war lasted four long bloody years. Could the North have ended the war two years earlier? Did the war continue because the wrong man was in charge? Thomas Henderson and young Jacob Buntin find themselves in the midst of the war. Events force them to make decisions, decisions that will change their lives and perhaps much more.
