Johnny made a promise to his father, who was wounded fighting for the South. He promised to take care of the family and not run off to fight. Without Pa, Johnnyâ€™s family can barely scrape by. But when thereâ€™s an offer to take his mules and wagon on a bold mission to supply the Rebel troops, Johnny canâ€™t resist. Then heâ€™s captured by a Yankeeâ€”Cush, a runaway slave. Johnny doesnâ€™t like taking orders from a black. But heâ€™s got no choice. Heâ€™s bound for prison camp, tormented by his broken promise and wondering what will become of his family and himself.
