Synopsis

Isaac Benning, a young man of the western Virginia frontier,
has been fighting for the Rebel cause since 1775. By 1780 his
prowess as a smart fighting-man has led to his promotion to
Sergeant in the Third Virginia Regiment, and action in the disaster
at The Battle of The Waxhaws near the South Carolina/North Carolina
border. Horrified, angered, and ashamed at the outcome of that
battle, Isaac goes home. His enlistment is over and he feels he can
no longer face the horrors of war.

But the War won't let him remain at home. Indian incursions
into White areas spurred by the British, and a call to arms from
the Virginia Militia, lead him to rethink his feelings. In his
heart he knows he must 'do his duty' and go back.

Along the way he will meet and befriend a small band of
Indians trying to find their way free of the conflagration, hunt
Indian raiders near his own home, and lead men into battle once
more at a place called Kings Mountain.

He will also meet a woman who steals his heart, make friends
who will support him in battle, and learn about himself and his own
life that will let him grow into a real man.
