The Colonel's Story of Captain Holliday and War
The narrative follows Captain Holliday after Boston mobilizes to invade the South. He rises to captain, fights at Big Bethel, later aids Butler, and supports Union forces in New Orleans and the Valley. Personal tragedy strikes as his wife and child vanish, with months of pursuit and peril ending in a perilous voyage, wreck, and survival aided by Aunt Venus, who later runs a boarding house in New Orleans.
