Surrender of the Iron Brigade amid Virginia reunions
A sweeping Civil War episode threads through Charlottesville as Benton and Rosalie confront past wounds, forgiveness, and a reconciled future. Emily, Maud Pelham, and veteran officers anchor a tale of loss, duty, and wary peace. Benton returns to Charlottesville to find Rosalie moved by love and pride, seeking mercy and healing after tragedy. The aftermath of Stanton and Sheridan frames a broader political sea change.
