Book by James Lee Barrett, Peter Udell and Phillip Rose. Music by Gary Geld. Lyrics by Peter Udell.

Drop and wing w. x rays, wagons and scrim.

This colorful and dramatic saga revolves around a strong willed Virginia farmer who tries to keep his family neutral during the Civil War. But the Union forces and the Confederates see things only in Union blue or Confederate gray so the family is inevitably swept up in the conflict. Their story is a heart warming and heart rending portrayal of the upheaval that left wounds on the land and people.
