Rev. Alexander Davis Betts, a minister from Smithville, on the Cape Fear, honors a request by his friend Lorenzo Cain to become chaplain in the 30th North Carolina. Partially lame from a childhood accident, he is torn between strenuous duty in the field and the comforts of a safe village and a loving family. He leaves behind a young wife and four small children. He serves through the worst battles for nearly the entire duration of the war-ministering not just to souls but to the wounded, traveling so relentlessly that once he falls off his horse, unconscious, and awakens in a field. He consoles the dying of both armies, including friends like Lorenzo Cain, endures multiple bouts of illness and exhaustion, but somehow always comes back to where he is needed most. After the war, he preaches far and wide, meeting many survivors from his old regiment, attended always by a company of ghosts.
