Imagine living in a time in America when there was no running water, no inside plumbing, and automatic appliances were still in the future. It was a time when everyone worked for a living, some free and some in chains.
Finding entertainment was not their number one priority. Life was spectacularly simple in southeastern North Carolina just before the Civil War, but it was a beautiful time to be alive.
Now, imagine being there, experiencing the events leading up to the war, and having to risk your life fighting for what you believed to be right.
Imagine trying to right your ship of hope once the hostilities ceased. Relive these troubled times through Joseph Peadrick a North Carolina farmer and Confederate volunteer. Follow him from the time he was a young Lad, through the Civil War, and through his happy, but short and tragic marriage. Be prepared to accept all this as a fact of life in antebellum North Carolina and beyond.
