It is July of 1863 and the terrible Battle of Gettysburg is raging in the little Pennsylvania town. John Wesley Culp has come back to his childhood home, but he is fighting in the Army of Northern Virginia and his friends and family look upon him as a traitor. In his pocket he carries a letter from his best friend, Jack Skelly, a Union soldier wounded at the Second Battle of Winchester. The letter is for Jack’s sweetheart, Ginnie Wade, but the battle takes its terrible toll and the letter never gets delivered. 150 years latter, Randy Culpepper, the great-great grandson of Wesley’s best friend, Jed, returns to Gettysburg for the anniversary of the great battle, and through a series of strange occurrences becomes a player in the unresolved story of Wesley Culp, Jack Skelly, and Ginnie Wade.
