Lieutenant Mitchell Shreve leads a platoon of Tennesseans as they escort a family across Pennsylvania to Gettysburg. Shreve, the son of a slave owner, meets Tess Webster, a staunch young abolitionist. The two must reconcile their differences as they travel towards that fateful town. Then, once the Webster family has been safely delivered to their home, Lieutenant Shreve joins in the momentous Confederate assault known as Pickett’s Charge.
