Edgewater, MD, January 25, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Josiah Johnson is a tobacco farmer scratching out a living in a small town in western Kentucky in the ante-bellum South. Both Josiah and his wife, Sara, believe passionately in abolition, and neighbors view their position against slave labor with suspicion. Even as they struggle to survive, war breaks out in the country, with brothers fighting brothers. Josiah answers the call to serve President Lincoln, enlisting as a private in the Union Army, leaving behind his wife, infant daughter and a black servant, fighting for two years before he is wounded.
