Eulinda is a 13 year old house slave on a plantation just a mile
away from Andersonville Prison in southwest Georgia. As the Civil War is ending, she goes to the prison
in search of her brother, who had run away to join the Yankee army but has chosen to die rather than
return to bondage. She witnesses the brutality of the death camp where 13,000 Yankee prisoners perish,
and after the war, she helps Clara Barton and others clean up the cemetery and honor the dead.
