Description
This fascinating book tells the tumultous story of the Civil War in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. In is a meticulously researched novel, and you get both the big historical picture and the raw, personal experiences of Mennonites and Dunkers who lived through that time of testing and trial. This book adheres closely to the true story of Margaret “Peggy” Rhodes and the young men she helped as they traveled north to escape conscription into the Confederate Army. In this true story of what happened, we see voting and imperfect nonresistance by some conservative people, along with shining examples of meekness and respect. 290 pages; paperback.
