In this heroic clash of opposing conviction, Vincent Wingfield, a young spirited teenager and heir to a southern slave plantation, bravely proves his sympathy for brutally treated slaves and becomes a staunch supporter of slaves' rights. But, with the onset of the Civil War, Wingfield's fidelity to the state of Virginia leads him to serve under Robert E. Lee's cavalry and fight for the Confederacy.
Through his courage and readiness, he survives hairbreadth escapes, attempts on his life and two imprisonments. Henty's gripping story weaves Vincent's adventures with the real life events and people of the War, teaching history as it entertains. Admiring of the South, but by no means downplaying the evils slavery wrought, Henty makes a valuable contribution to the field of children's literature with this rousing story that gives today's children a new perspective on the War Between the States. 10 CDs. 11 hours, 18 minutes. Read by John Bolen. Unabridged.
