That night, Jamie returned afire with news. Just as the Trojan horse wagon train neared Middleburg, fourteen of Mosby’s men charged it, attacking the cavalry bluecoats who were riding far in front. They had panicked and galloped back toward the wagons. The Federal soldiers hidden inside heard the frantic hoofbeats. Blinded by the wagons’ covering, they assumed it was Mosby. The Yankees threw back the canvas and began shooting—at their own riders. Mosby captured most of them.

Jamie had a new prize, an advanced Spencer seven-shot repeating rifle that the “Trojan” soldiers had been carrying. He showed it to Annie and then danced around the room.

Annie waited for elation, the triumph she had expected to feel for successfully warning Mosby. This time she had made a difference. This time she had known exactly what to do and how to do it. And yet she felt no joy, just a cold, clammy sense of responsibility. She didn’t ask Jamie if any of the men had died. She didn’t want to know.
