This is a story about a place, a time, and a people. It is about an old man who was very aware of his mortality and a young man who felt immortal. Within ten years, both men would be dead, and today, they lie somewhere in unmarked graves in Will's Valley between Lookout Mountain, Georgia, and Sand Mountain, Alabama.

Most of the dates, names, locations, and incidents are based on fact.

Obviously, the conversations are fiction and were created to make history come alive and help the reader better understand what our ancestors experienced. You will learn things about American history that you never knew!
