Used A Ballad of the Civil War

Description

Tom and Jack Rigby were as close as close could be. And Aaron, a slave boy at Rigby Plantation, was almost as close to the twins as they were to each other. Tom didn't dream that anything could ever come between them. He was wrong. On their ninth birthday, Tom and Jack learned that they would never see their friend Aaron again. Eleven years later, it is Tom who is leaving the Big House. He is riding north to enlist in the Unio;n army, leaving behind an unforgiving brother who will never understand why Tom will not--indeed cannot--defend their father's right to own people.
