April 1865. Smoke darkens the sky, the earth trembles under the relentless fire of cannons and mortars, death and devastation are everywhere. Against all odds, Confederate General Lee rides into battle on his faithful horse Traveller, trying to save a world whose downfall has long been sealed. And although the horse understands neither the motives behind the bloodiest conflict on American soil nor can it forget its fear in the face of the thundering inferno, it remains loyal to its master and follows him unwaveringly.
