Officially, the American Civil War ended with the surrender of General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox on April 9, 1865. However, many "e;sympathizers"e; on both sides of the issue continued to wage their own "e;private wars."e; This is the story of the "e;Hawk"e; family who were caught up in the bitterness and aftermath of the war. Jubal Hawk served four years as a captain in the Confederate cavalry. He returned home to find his home burned to the ground, his father hanged, and his family missing. Night-riders sympathetic to the Union cause and backed by a land hungry rancher, were extracting their own brand of "e;justice."e; Will Jubal be forced to fight the war all over again?
