Marie Latour's perilous mission across the Mississippi
Marie Latour, a sixteen year old Creole, seeks a pass to cross the Mississippi during the Civil War. She aids her starving brother Oscar by securing aid from locals, outwitting a greedy boatman, and guiding him home despite danger and treachery, ultimately using a gunboat rescue to reach Burt's Landing and safety.
