This is a story about a 12 year old boy growing up on the family
homestead on the banks of the Osage River near the Missouri-Kansas
border in the period at the start of the American Civil War.
It details the everyday events in the life of his family until
their idyllic world is devastated when the town of Osceola is
pillaged and burned by Kansas Jayhawkers. In the weeks that follow
the family struggles for survival and finally flee for safety
further north. The young boy then enlists in the Union Army
from a misguided quest for solace and revenge. His service in
the 21st Missouri Regiment then chronicles the everyday life of a
common soldier as he experiences the full horrors of war in the
epic Battle of Shiloh. He then endures the long and tedious
march to Corinth, Mississippi, culminating in the bloody Battles of
Iuka and Corinth.
