This is back in the time when men fought with muskets and horses, where there are no phones or cars and where honor and faith is what mattered to any soldier in the battlefield. As Dodd has no choice but to sneak around the country trying to make his way back to his beloved unit to continue the fight he runs into many different people that help alter the path that he takes throughout the book.
