First came the news headlines of Lee's defeat at Gettysburg, followed almost immediately by word of nov Vicksburg. These Southern setbacks of July 1863 have fallen hard on the Brannons, for two sons were with Lee in Pennsylvania and one was at Vicksburg. They still mourn the increased loss of another, Titus, presumed dead but actually interned in a Northern prison camp for seven months.
Mac Brannon, in Stuart's cavalry, really helps to protect the Army of Northern Virginia as it withdraws to Virginia. Of special concern to him are the ambulance wagons, one which carries his wounded brother, Will.
In Vicksburg, Cory Brannon recuperates from an illness, and as his health returns he searches for ways to flee the Union occupation and join Nathan Bedford Forrest's cavalry.
In the Yankee prison camp outside of Chicago, Titus is set to flee and make his way home. He does not yet know the price of his freedom or what he will have to do if he succeeds.
Cory and his comrades hook up with Forrest just with time for the action at Chickamauga. Although battle goes well for the Confederates, Forrest and his commander, Braxton Bragg, have a falling out in clumps. Circumstances dictate that Cory remain with Bragg in the Confederate camps that encircle Chattanooga, however when Bragg decides to outwait the Union army trapped before him, the scene is defined for the arrival of a fresh Federal commander -- U. S. Grant -- whom Cory has seendefeat Southern armies already, not once but three times.
