Summary:
"When John Rockwell, a Yankee captive at Andersonville, reaches
across the prison's "dead line" to pluck a bunch of violets,
Confederate guard Jack Foster is supposed to shoot him. Conflicted
over thoughts of Lucy Moore, his girl back home, Foster lowers his
gun. Spared, Rockwell lives to escape Andersonville, and Foster is
discharged in disgrace." "After the war, Rockwell's ambitions lead
him to take charge of a rundown plantation in Foster's native
Mississippi, where the prisoner and guard find their paths crossing
once again."--BOOK JACKET.
