About PEAVINE CREEK:

Southerners, sensing danger to existing institutions, law, social order,
family, true religion and loss of liberty-liberty meaning being left alone to
pursue personal goals, without suffering interference from government or
fellow citizens-prepare to fight for their freedom.  At the beginning of the
Civil War, the Confederate Government is being organized and needs funds to
pay for war preparations and other government expenses. As part of a scheme
to help fill their coffers, Dirk Howard, an ex-United States Army Officer, is
recruited into the Confederate Army and assigned to a secret mission in the
North. In his quest for the South's liberty, he becomes entangled in
unimaginable intrigue and espionage.
