South by Southwest by Johnny D Boggs

Zeb Hogan rises from the grave at Florence Stockade during the Civil War. With the help of Ebenezer Chase, a runaway slave, the two young men head South by Southwest, each heading for their own destiny. Traveling at night, fearful yet determined, Zeb has made a promise to fulfill and Ebenezer is in search of his young wife and baby girl who have been sent to a Dallas, Texas plantation. Ebenezer knows the country as well as knowing how to read and write and forms a somewhat shaky alliance with Zeb as they travel the war ravaged land of the Civil War. Boggs writes an unusual story of the wartime era, touching the hearts of readers as these two young men fight for their lives to achieve their goals. A truly great tale.
