A little side story in my future trilogy, 'War Boys'. Dieter W. von Dölau is a seventeen year old Pennsylvania Dutch. He joined the Civil War's Union army at sixteen and is an illegal soldier. It is now January 26, 1864 and Dieter's regiment has traveled to a town called Athens, Alabama. Dieter and his friend Frederick Williamson are stationed outside the city when, out in the darkness, they see the enemy beginning to rise for the Battle of Athens.
