Till now, twenty-three-year-old Simon Boudlin has evaded military duty thanks to his slight stature, youthful appearance, and utter lack of compunction about bending the truth. But following a barroom brawl in Victoria, Texas, Simon finds himself conscripted, however belatedly, into the Confederate Army. Luckily his talent with a fiddle gets him a comparatively easy position in a regimental band. Weeks later, on the eve of the Confederate surrender, Simon and his bandmates are called to play for officers and their families from both sides of the conflict. There the quick-thinking, audacious fiddler can't help but notice the lovely Doris Mary Dillon, an indentured girl from Ireland, who is governess to a Union colonel's daughter. After the surrender, Simon and Doris go their separate ways. He will travel around Texas seeking fame and fortune as a musician. She must accompany the colonel's family to finish her three years of service. But Simon cannot forget the fair Irish maiden, and vows that someday he will find her again."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Fiddlers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Soldiers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Draftees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Indentured servants $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Irish $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Texas $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Fiddlers $v Fiction. 651 1 $a Texas $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION $x Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Westerns. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Soldiers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01125233 650 7 $a Irish. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00978902 650 7 $a Draftees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01736091 650 7 $a Fiddlers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00923794 650 7 $a Indentured servants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968872 650 7 $a Man-woman relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007080 650 7 $a Reconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01754987 651 7 $a Texas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210336 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Contract labor $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Man-woman relationship $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Reconstruction (1865-1876) $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a Texas $x History $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a United States $x History $y 1861-1865, Civil War $v Fiction. $2 sears 648 7 $a 1861-1877 $2 fast 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210601114528.0 $n 6 $p +LP+CD 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=30E88B8EAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
