Synopsis

A common man living in uncommon times, in 1806, Plenny Oliver Cash was born into an established family of Virginia planters. After his abusive father gambled away his inheritances, the family would immigrate to Georgia in the 1820's. Losing his young wife and unborn child, Plenny would become estranged from his older brother and would begin an odyssey that would continue until Sherman's advance on Atlanta caused him to reunite with his brother and return to DeKalb County. During the ensuing years, even as he battled the demons within, he would become a sailor and railroad man. Later, he would remarry and father a family as he once again farmed the land. While not a soldier, he was a Union sympathizer who would be forced to take an active part in the war in support of the South. After the Yankee army rampaged through North Georgia and departed Atlanta, Plenny would become a leader in the fight against the Bummers that had flooded in on the coattails of the victorious Union army.
