Inspired by the actual letters of a foot soldier in
the American Civil War, this story weaves three accounts of heroism and
sacrifice into a single heart wrenching tale of lives torn apart by war.
From the Union trenches, southerner Absolon Wilkes writes
to his fiancée and to the loyal friend he left behind to protect her. Absolon tells of the hardships endured while her
letters assure him she will wait faithfully. His friend vows to keep her safe until Absolon's return but his tone
betrays a deeper emotion.
A courageous woman, unable to bear being separated
from her husband, disguises herself as a man and enlists in the Confederate
Army to fight, or die, at his side. She
only prays she can find him in time. The
true heart of a runaway slave in the Union Army is tested as he confronts his
former owner on the bloody battlefield.
Experience historic battles and unbearable hardships
through the eyes and hearts of the brilliant generals and unheralded heroes who
lived, fought and died for their beliefs. It was their sacrifices that made them the true Pillars of War.
