Drums in the Deep South

Based on an all-but-forgotten incident which occurred during the Civil War. This is the story of a Confederate attempt to stop Sherman's sweep through Georgia in his 'march to the sea'. The South's cannoneers set their artillery in an almost inaccessible mountain peak and successfully set about the destruction of Union supply trains. When a Union force is given the assignment of silencing the gun, it is discovered that the opposing commanders are close friends; and a fateful decision must be made in order for the Union to keep its life-line open.
