Introduction

It was July 2,1863 and sixteen-year-old Ben knew something big was about to happen as he peeked out from behind the bushes along the creek where he fishes. Obviously a great battle had developed between the Yankees and the Rebels around the town of Gettysburg. He did not know he would find Dantes Inferno along the waters of Plum Run.

Joshua's Journey

After he joins up in the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, Joshua is propelled onto the battlefields of the Civil War. While soldiers and generals march and fight, Joshua is quickly indoctrinated in the ways of the army. As he worries about his parents back home, Joshua learns to rely on his spiritual strength to endure the chaos. But as the army of ghosts grows and the Confederacy shrinks, Josh transforms from a young man into one of General Lee's hard veterans whose only desire is to survive and see his family again.

Summary

Glory and Ghosts shares the tale of a young man's journey into the Civil War as he courageously fights for his beliefs and a glory that may be harder to attain than he ever imagined.
