Author Ernest A. Young presents a historical work exploring Civil War era themes and perspectives. The volume compiles narratives of soldiers, officers, and common men across Union and Confederate lines in a reflective, literary style.
After a brutal capture by Confederate guerrillas, Frank Hepworth fights fatigue and wounds to escape. He seizes a horse, resists brutal guards, and, aided by Luke Leighton and Marian Elmore, makes a perilous night dash toward Union lines amid storm and pursuit.
Joe Fordick describes the capture of Frank Hepworth as he is bound on horseback by fifty stern faced brigands from the mountains. Joe Fosdick rides beside the prisoner as the group advances two abreast along a narrow turnpike. Hepworth endures bruising from the prior combat while the captors threaten and restrain him.
