Micah Hartman and Damon Hall first meet in the frontier river town
of Reed's Landing, Wisconsin in the 1850's. Micah, the son of one
of the town's leading lumbermen, embodies the West but seeks more
from his life than the perpetual cycle of lumbering. Damon,
educated at Harvard's Divinity School, comes to "the Landing" an
idealistic young cleric seeking to do God's will. Despite what they
may have planned for their lives, the Civil War gives them
different paths to tread. The old friends are united as members of
the Seventh Wisconsin--soon to become part of the famous "Iron
Brigade." Micah, an infantryman, and Damon, the Seventh's chaplain,
are forever changed inside the crucible of combat where they are
forced to face war's death, pain, and suffering. After the war,
life continues. The men find wives and dream of children. Young men
become older men; older men discover regret. It is only after forty
years at each other's side that the truth comes out. An aged ledger
appears that casts a shadow of doubt on the integrity of one of
these men, and that shadow could forever darken a lifelong
friendship.
