Silently Beats The Drum — W.R. Benton

This story of Jeb and Nancy is a fictional example of the kind of life many people lived during the peak period of the American Civil War. It was a rough life for those in the South and a constant effort from day to day just to survive. As the Union army moved into the Southern states, foraging soldiers would take just about any source of food they could find. Some of the Civil War events in this book are based on fact.
