Description:

Peter Svenson, a successful artist, bought the field of his dreams in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley and planned to build a home there for his family. But he soon discovered that a Civil War military engagement, the Battle of Cross Keys, was fought on the very soil he wanted to till. Svenson's story of his own moral and physical struggles is masterfully interspersed with the reports, letters and history of the battle, sweeping the reader into the drama of the past and Svenson's reverence for both history and the land.
