What happens when a little boy, dirty diaper, teary eyes and all is found wandering on the Civil War battlefield? He has one brown eye and one blue and is holding tight to the torn off arm of his toy bear. Since everything seems to be destroyed in the area a Rebel soldier can't get the boy to safety. When the Reb is wounded two Yankees step in and struggle to find shelter and food for the boy. Will he find a family among Yanks, Rebs, Slaves, and Indians?
