They arrived at Andersonville in rags, marched under sun and rifle toward a stockade built not to hold men, but to punish them for the decisions of others and to forget them. They drank from a ditch, slept in filth, and watched the strongest crumble. Then came the promise of freedom-parole, transport, the long road home. And he survived Andersonville. But the war had one last cruelty to endure. The real trial would begin on the way home. Private Arlo Farrington dreamt only of returning to Maine, to the barbershop he left behind and the family he loves. But when he's crammed aboard the Sultana with thousands of fellow Union survivors, his journey takes a fateful turn. Based on the true stories of the Confederate's worst prison and America's deadliest maritime disaster, this novel traces one soldier's path through the ravages of war, the imprisonment by the Army of the Confederacy, the shadows of corruption, and the fire-lit waters of the Mississippi-where survival may come at the cost of his soul. And the Commandant of Andersonville faced a tribunal. History forgot them. This story does not.
