The Story
Two young army officers ride into Bleeding Kansas as the nation lurches toward civil war.
Fresh from West Point, J.E.B. Stuart and George Custer are posted to the frontier and both court the spirited Kit Holliday while the abolitionist John Brown wages a violent campaign against slavery. As Brown's raids spread and his vision hardens, the officers are drawn into the long pursuit that will end at Harpers Ferry. Errol Flynn leads this sweeping, much-fictionalized account of the men and passions colliding on the eve of the Civil War, closing on Brown's fateful warning from the gallows.
