About This Book
Eulinda is a 13 year old house slave on a plantation just a mile away from Andersonville Prison in southwest Georgia. As the Civil War is ending, she goes to the prison in search of her brother, who had run away to join the Yankee army but has chosen to die rather than return to bondage.
