President Lincoln claimed that no states had left the Union and these were still United States citizens.However, the Yankee invaders treated the population like Prisoners of War with only the rights their captives chose to grant them!

The readers will cringe when they are witness to the savage beatings and torture of Southern patriots!A youthful Sam joined the 1st Tennessee Infantry and bravely fought many battles in several Confederate States. The Confederate army, aided by the loyal population, tried time and again to push the hated invaders out of Middle Tennessee, but by 1863 both sides knew that the Yankees were staying.Sam lived in Middle Tennessee and through family connections he was recruited into the Confederate spy service. When his army left; Sam stayed. The reader will be swept into the world of deception and deceit that is the world of the spy. Using the most brutal and inhumane tactics Yankee counter spies decimated Sam's spy cell. Sam was arrested by Damn Yankee spies wearing Confederate uniforms.Thus began a tug of war between a despotic and ruthless Yankee General and a determined, Christian, Confederate Soldier, Private, Sam Davis. The general demanded that Sam give him names. For those names, the General would spare Sam's life! The brave Sam never flinched, nor gave an inch as he faced the stern General down. With the rope dangling before his eyes, Sam chose death over dishonor!It's a story worth telling and a story worth reading. The sublime courage and honor of a lowly Private should never be forgotten!
