From the Farm to the Battlefield
Nance Tuttle lies dying in a bare New Babylon hut as her three children Ben Bill and Annie strive to survive. Ben and Bill minister to their mother and prepare Annie for a harsh future while the community arranges aid.

Annie briefly nears adoption by wealthy Mrs Dyer but the brothers decide to keep her, setting the stage for future tensions with Mrs Dyer and potential schooling abroad for Annie.
