Riassunto

When Union soldiers march by the farm and ask Johnny if he wants to join them, the young slave quickly leaves the only home he has ever known, takes a job working on the company's mule team, and risks his very life doing dangerous tasks in the hopes that it will lead to becoming a free man at the end of the Civil War. Reprint.
