Firman Kirk, a young lumberman from Pennsylvania, leaves the relative safety of his father's business to join the Union Army and participate in the greatest conflict this country has known. Before he departs, he meets a young woman with whom he starts an intense correspondence that sees him through the darkest days of the war and gives him hope in distant battlefields like Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Gettysburg. Experience what it was like as he recovers from a wound and endures extreme hardship as a Prisoner of War at the notorious Andersonville prison. Share in his triumph as he helps to dedicate a monument to those that served some fifty years after the close of that chapter in American history
