520 "In March 1865, the long and bitter War between the States
is winding down. Till now, twenty-three-year-old Simon
Boudlin has evaded military duty thanks to his slight
stature, youthful appearance, and utter lack of
compunction about bending the truth. But following a
barroom brawl in Victoria, Texas, Simon finds himself
conscripted, however belatedly, into the Confederate Army.
Luckily his talent with a fiddle gets him a comparatively
easy position in a regimental band. Weeks later, on the
eve of the Confederate surrender, Simon and his bandmates
are called to play for officers and their families from
both sides of the conflict. There the quick-thinking,
audacious fiddler can't help but notice the lovely Doris
Mary Dillon, an indentured girl from Ireland, who is
governess to a Union colonel's daughter. After the
surrender, Simon and Doris go their separate ways. He will
travel around Texas seeking fame and fortune as a
musician. She must accompany the colonel's family to
finish her three years of service. But Simon cannot forget
the fair Irish maiden, and vows that someday he will find
her again."--Provided by publisher.
