"The story opens with the dramatic situation after Appomattox, when many of the Southern soldiers turned westward to a new life. It is the story of a heroic soldier and a courageous young woman, who do their best to help upbuild our country after the civil war. A pretty romance threads its way through the book. It is a well told story, full of action and of special interest to Illinois readers."--The Chicago Record-Herald
