Barely grown boys fight and, often times die for something they never truly understood. Beyond the great recorded historical battles, beyond the great armies racing toward one another, there was another American Civil War. A war comprised of small units of volunteers, ill trained, but bound by a sense of duty to defend their homeland. The Marion Rangers were fifteen inexperienced boys drawn to the war by romanticized inspiration. They had never met the enemy, and so for them this Civil War was a thrilling military game, at least until reports surface that the enemy is approaching. And then, in the distance, appears a lone rider, who would forever change their lives. Study Guide Included |
