The Survivors

Vol III - The Survivors
It takes more than being shot to defeat James Smith! General Lee may be defeated, and life may be without a roof over your head or any food other than raw potatoes - but maybe - just maybe - you will stumble upon a place to rest and someone who will feed you! Well, we all have pipe dreams, don't we?
Susie was a precocious eight-year-old child but didn't know it and wouldn't have understood. Right now, she just wondered how she would cook, wash and farm enough, for her ailing mother and her to survive. Then add that to an injured soldier to take care of - goodness sakes did problems never END!
Major Harmon Boggs of the Union Army was just what you would think a Major would be. Military bearing and all. He had barely survived an onslaught by the South, had a "problem" of major headache with his wife, and was determined ( as Majors often are) to improve his life despite any of these "issues", now he was back in Pennsylvania - but HOW, would it help that he had been a good Samaritan?
