Mountain Valor

With her father and brothers gone to serve in the Civil War and her mother sick, teenage Valor ignores what is proper behavior for a girl and fights to defend her North Carolina mountain farm.

First sentence: The cannons' fire on the battery of Fort Sumter had served as a call-to-arms for timbermen cutting in the hardwood forests and farmers tilling the rich black soil of the hills and hollows of the Appalachian Mountains.
