The boys wanted to enlist, but the family opposed it until the father discovered that the bounty money they would receive would pay off the mortgage on the farm, the interest of which was due. The farmer was worried, but consented and the boys marched to the front. One day while doing "scout" duty, Jim, the younger brother, was killed by a Confederate sharpshooter. Bill, the elder brother, mad with grief, started in pursuit of the retreating rebel, regardless of the warnings of his companions, or his captain's orders. Bill speedily overtook the fleeing rebel and called on him to surrender. The Confederate threw up his hands. In the meantime the captain and some of the men, fearing for Bill's safety, started after him. As Bill rushed forward to seize his prisoner, he stumbled, dropped his gun, which fell at the feet of the rebel who, having previously lost his own weapon, seized Bill's gun and threatened him, but the approach of the Union soldiers changed his purpose and he now offered the gun in return for protection. This Bill promised and faithfully fulfilled as the soldiers came up and threatened the rebel's life. Later Bill was wounded and the rebel volunteered to nurse him. At the close of the war Bill, being too weak to travel alone, the rebel took him to the New England home, where he met Bill's sister, Emma, who fell in love with him, and the North and South became one family.
