Inhaltsangabe

In the foothills of the Blue Ridge just outside Lenoir, North Carolina, farm lad John McRae was looking up to the mountains around Blowing Rock for a possible future on the eve of the Civil War. Travel with him and his friends in the 26th North Carolina infantry to the seacoast at Morehead City and Fort Macon to defend his home State from President lincoln’s forces. In the industrial City of Troy, New York, William Flynn was a young Irish fellow making a living working in the gambling halls and docks along the Hudson River when an opportunity of career growth arose dealing at the faro tables of John ‘Old Smoke’ Morrissey in Saratoga Springs. Patriotic feelings for the new country of the United States lead him to join the 125th New York Infantry and participate in his first battle weeks later. Meet Johnny Reb and Billy Yank, their families, fiancés and friends as the steady flow of war takes the two soldiers to a meeting at the Emmitsburg Road at Gettysburg.
