"Gone For A Soldier" follows the lives of two boys in the 1860's, at the time of the American Civil War. Elias and Josiah become friends one summer and then more than friends, as the threat of war looms over their happiness. Sometimes it is only their love that enables them to get through the time of danger, fear, and longing.
