FREEDOM

About Me

..
In the midst of a war being fought to define political freedom, two men struggle with the truths of individual freedom and the courage that it takes to face what it really means to be free.
The date was November 6, 1863. For over two-and-a-half years nearly three million Union and Confederate forces had been fighting the American Civil War. Battles both large and small had occured in thousands of places across North America.
In northeast Tennessee on that cold day in November Confederate forces under the command of Gen W.E. "Grumble" Jones routed outmanned Union forces and took over 800 prisoners on a forced march to Bristol, where they would be loaded onto trains and sent to prison camps in Richmond and Andersonville. Among the prisoners were two injured men from the Seventh Ohio Cavalry: Captain Theodore Allen and Lieutenant A.A. Carr.
With help from Union sympathizers and some generous but unwitting Confederates, the two men escape and make their way across the countryside. Along the way they meet Daniel Adams, a free black man who serves as a mountain pilot on the Underground Railroad, their guide to safety across the rugged mountains of east Tennessee.
Before the journey ends, both men discover that freedom is something all men possess, but living that freedom can have costs they never imagined.
