A story which looks out upon the Civil war from a Southern home corner. The heroine is a newly wed Virginia girl who, with the exception of a risky visit to the enemies’ camp, instead of dipping into the daring undertakings of most war story heroines stays at the home helm, where in spite of Northern foraging bands, skirmishes at her very door, a wounded husband to nurse back to life, she suffers duty, citizenship and sacrifice to argue their case against the menace and terror of battle.
