Remember the Righteous Cause
History is more than dates and data; it involves the human soul at the deepest level. That is especially true of the American Civil War, and it is in this cauldron of death and tragedy, that young Lem Cashion discovers the meaning of Right and Wrong and the Cause that seeks to protect it.
Remember the Righteous Cause is a prequel to a book entitled High Lonesome which introduces the father of the main character of that book as Lemuel Pryor Cashion. As a young man, Lem falls in love with the younger Lucy Jane Stevens, the only daughter of Dr. Stevens, who strongly disapproves of the interest. His rebuff causes Lem to join the Confederate army “for the war.”
