As the Civil War is ending, Confederate Colonel Clay Fitzgerald learns he has inherited a fortune and estate from an Irish uncle. Weary of war, the Colonel and his black aide and friend, Josh, set off to claim this inheritance. Despite his wish to remain neutral, Clay is shocked by the English government's treatment of the Irish. He cannot help but become involved in the resistance. The colonel also falls in love with the sympathetic daughter of an English landlord.
The tale of Colonel Fitzgerald's adventures, while at times melodramatic, will appeal to t hose with an interest in history, particularly Irish history, and to readers wanting action and a plot that moves briskly.
