Summary

In a world where morals seem evasive, a person's words and actions still determine his character. This can be seen in the contrast between Jeff Carter's relatives and the mastermind who has them killed. When Jeff's aunt and uncle die from a hit and run in Charleston, South Carolina, he inherits a 157-acre plantation West of the Ashley. With mixed feelings he starts moving into his new home only to find that people are out to kill him to gain possession of his new estate. In an attempt to escape, he "borrows" a time machine secretly manufactured by his esoteric friend, Professor Helm, who had hidden it in a basement at the college. Thrust back in time to November 24, 1864, he must not only adjust to his surroundings but also unravel the mystery of his plantation house.How will he return to the present unscathed? Will he find himself embroiled in the War Between the States without losing his life? Will his friends ever see him again? Join in the adventure as he meets his Granduncle and his lively crew of plantation cowboys. Be charmed as he rescues the new love of his life, a twenty-five year old beautiful southern bell from her runaway carriage. See how he matches wits with a conniving neighbor bent on stealing the family treasure. The saga includes a description of an obscure Civil War skirmish that occurred near Honey Hill, an embankment near Charleston. The adventure can be yours to enjoy.
