The Falling Hills centres on two young officers from opposite sides of the conflict. A Tennessee planter and a Confederate veteran, Captain Leroy Acox reluctantly returns to service in Forrest's newly recruited cavalry corps and, though he hates war, eventually succumbs to its hysteria. Lieutenant Jonathan Seabury, an idealist from Boston who requested "a Negro branch of the service," sees the war as his opportunity to educate and enlighten former slaves. Seabury, however, quickly becomes disheartened by the dishonesty and disorder of his men, the corruption of garrison life, and the prospect of defending the ill-equipped outpost. Opening with a mindless act of violence, the novel places Acox and Seabury at odds in one unforgettable battle.
