The year is now 1865. The War between the States has raged on and on. Now most everyone is tired of the fighting and there are rumors that peace will come soon. Wil and Mary continue leading the same lives they always have; Wil working the farm and Mary helping out in town and raising the family. Wil is now semi-retired. He has turned over 50 acres of land to his son Landon to farm. In seven years, Wil plans to retire for good and give the other 50 acres of land to Landon.
Rosie and her husband Saul are now together and making a happy home in town. Saul's enlistment time ran out in late 1864, and he returned home for good. Saul has since returned to his former job as a livestock farmer and is building up his stock once again. Saul was injured only once during the war when a bullet grazed his right arm. Rosie is just thankful that he survived and returned to her and the children. Shawn, now three, is growing up fast and loves having his daddy home again. Shawn is outgoing and adventurous and loves to be outdoors. Lena Grace Jackson is the newest member of the Jackson household. She was born eight weeks ago. Wil and Mary love to fawn over their first granddaughter, and Saul and Rosie couldn't be happier.
Isaiah's war experience was not nearly as lucky as Saul's. Twice his regiment was captured and held as prisoners of war. He spent three weeks in a Confederate prison once and recalls it being the scariest three weeks of his life. Isaiah was also wounded in the war. He was hit with shrapnel from a cannon and in a field hospital for a week and a half. During that time, his leg became gangrenous and had to be amputated. After that, he was sent to an army hospital in New York City, where he recovered. By the time Wil and Mary learned of his injury, he had been in New York for six weeks. They picked him up and brought him back home to Ohio to finish the recovery process. Isaiah isn't really sure what to do with himself, but knows that he must find some sort of livelihood that he can accomplish while having only one leg. His sweetheart, Betsy Fairchild, has waited for him. The two plan to marry as soon as Isaiah finds a steady job.
Liam, Landon, and Adam are 18. Liam has stayed at home to help nurse Isaiah back to health. He has already been accepted to a medical school in New York City, and plans to attend beginning next year. Landon, as aforementioned, has taken over half of the farm. He is very content to work his fifty acres until Wil retires, and has already made some improvements in crop quality. Landon and his wife, Cynthia Goodman, were married two months ago in a simple wedding. They have courted for a year and were ready to make their committment to each other. Adam, after seeing what happened to Isaiah, decided that war was not the best thing to dash off into. Adam has decided to go adventuring. He has traveled to Canada to try and make his way in the fur trapping, logging, or mining industries. He has heard of a gold rush in Cariboo, British Columbia, so he is headed in that direction. Wil gave him a generous amount of money, knowing that work would be hard to come by. Adam left just after Landon and Cindy were married, but he writes often and promises to visit once he's gotten settled in Canada.
