It is in the autumn of 1864 during the time of Sherman's March to the Sea from Atlanta to Savannah. Henry carries out some dangerous missions for a plantation owner who has offered to protect him, but instead he is put directly in the path of Sherman's looters and foragers. Henry develops a relationship with a slave family. His interactions with them challenge his previously held attitudes and beliefs about slaves. He is forced to consider what equality really means, and he learns that honor and courage have nothing to do with skin color.
