is living in Kansas in the year 1861. The Civil War
is just beginning and Lije is part of the
abolitionist movement who help free slaves. He
rides with the Kansas Jayhawkers on several raids
to free slaves. When Lije is asked to spy for the
Jayhawkers, he agrees to change his name and live
with a Southern family and join the southern
bushwhackers. Lije is successful in passing
important information on to the Jayhawkers. When he
learns that the bushwhackers are planning a raid on
his hometown, he must make a desperate choice.
Should he keep his cover and continue his important

town?
