Proud Rebel

With his home burned to the ground, his wife killed and his 10-year-old son David rendered mute after witnessing the traumatizing incident, former Confederate soldier John Chandler arrives in a small, post-Civil War Illinois community. Eager to move on with his life, and desperate to find an effective treatment for the boy, John instead finds himself drawn into a fight with the two sons of ruthless, unscrupulous sheep farmer Harry Burleigh, facing a severe $30 fine or 30 days of incarceration. A strong, kind, compassionate rancher Linnett Moore decides to intervene for David's sake, providing food and shelter, and before long John finds himself involved in a long-standing feud. Faced with a cruel dilemma, he must choose between running away or putting down roots. Can a proud Rebel find peace and love in Yankee territory?
