Our seven protagonists must endure three days of sheer horror that was the Battle of Gettysburg in the hopes of ever returning home
“...before you ever wear a soldier's uniform, always ask this question…
Are you battle ready?”
After spending so much of their lives studying, honoring, and playing the role of soldiers to understand history, the Fighting 21st will swiftly find they must become real soldiers or become history.
From the first shot of the Battle of Gettysburg at the crack of dawn on July 1st right through to the bloody crescendo of Pickett’s Charge on July 3rd, both the Federal and Confederates fighting under the banner of the 21st will discover their true mettle with Daniel, Nick, Virgil, William, and Zachary fighting in the ranks while Jesse and Elizabeth toil in the charnel house of a Civil War hospital.
After ‘Seeing the Elephant’, the 21st will slowly earn the respect of their fellow soldiers although their strange & alien ways will draw the increasing scrutiny of the imposing Colonel Samuel Clark of the Gotham rifles and the instinctive Major Ambrose Blackburn of the Chattahoochee Hornets.
Even in this hellish maelstrom of death and despair symbolizing the worst of human existence, the 21st will also witness the best of human nature proven with acts of bravery, generosity, mercy, and sacrifice by their veteran comrades and even by themselves. And while forging an unbreakable bond of camaraderie unique to war, they will fight their own internal battles with the hope of winning their personal civil war.
However, redemption and return will require paying the ultimate price
