Mars’ Bobbie, as the old servant Peter Black named him, is a merry young man of a Southern plantation family, long-awaited and much loved. When war comes he rides away to serve the Confederacy, and the story follows those left at home through the hard years, waiting through a Christmas Eve for the sound of his horse. Its picture of slavery and the Southern cause is the sentimental one of its era.
