Fancy Vol 5: Thomas P. Greene (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781492357216)

Widower Thomas P. Greene has to leave his daughters, fourteen year-old Fancy and four year-old Danni when he is called into the service of the Confederacy at the beginning of the war. He knows Fancy is a responsible kid, and he's taught her everything he could about how to run their family farm-planting, nurturing, harvesting. He hates to leave her with all that responsibility, but he has no choice. Only a few months into the war, he is captured by Yankee soldiers at Antietam. He is then taken to a prison camp at Fort Delaware, where he spends the remainder of the war, poorly fed and his wounds untreated. When the Yankees finally release him at the war's end, he is penniless and still has untreated war injuries, and he has to make his way back to Florence, Alabama on foot. Finally reaching home a year after his release, he finds his girls gone and his home and farm taken over by an unscrupulous neighbor who tries to kill him. No one knows where his girls are. Follow the adventures as Tom tries to rebuild his life and find his beloved daughters.
