In early 1864, the most ferocious of the Confederate raider generals, John Hunt Morgan, was mysteriously preparing his last strike back into his home state of Kentucky. The little crossroads town of Mt. Sterling was his primary target. The South was reeling from the twin impacts of military defeats and financial chaos. There was widespread dissatisfaction with the government and within the military. Presidential elections were near in the Union. Many thought that a different Union president could end the war on terms favorable to the South. At about the same time, only 155 years later, a college history teacher in Atlanta and an engineer in Dallas, two graduates of Mt. Sterling High School, are preparing to attend their 50th high school reunion in Kentucky. They had been lovers in high school and college, but now live very separate lives - one as a renowned historian and the other as a globe-hopping petroleum engineer. Old feelings are stirred when each finds that the other is going to attend the reunion. Will the 'time-machine magic' of a high school reunion bring them back together? How will the classmates going to their reunion 145 years later interact with the events that transpired during the Civil War in their hometown? In The Treasure of the Mount, these story lines are intertwined with a mix of the nostalgia and memories of a small town high school reunion and the desperation of the later years of the American Civil War.
