In a territory where there were no enslaved blacks and statehood was still fifty years off, the most unlikely campaign of the Civil War was being launched. Seth Russel, a naive youth from Texas, finds himself leading a troop of lancers in the Confederate Army invading the territory of New Mexico. War, the cruelest of educators, teaches Seth the origins and the meaning of courage. From Teresa Donley, beautiful wife of the territorial governor, this man/child learns of the enchantment and the heart break of forbidden love.
