A Soldier's Bounty

A Civil War soldier's story of his enlistment, enticed by a bounty of $200, into the 77th Indiana Volunteer Infantry. After fighting in several battles, and an emotional furlough spent with the girl he loves, he is sent to Atlanta with Sherman and is captured and sent to Andersonville Prison. As the war is ending, he is finally going home aboard the Mississippi riverboat Sultana. An explosion and an encounter with a rich widow leads to unexpected bounty in the new and rich farmlands of Iowa.
