Overview

In April 1864, the Union stronghold at Plymouth, North Carolina fell-and with it, hundreds of men from the 85th New York Infantry were captured and sent south. Among them were Henry Fidelio Clapp, a steady corporal who would survive imprisonment and escape, and Orsemous Crabb, a private whose name would end at Andersonville. The Pilgrims of Plymouth is a historically grounded novella that follows these two soldiers from enlistment in central New York through coastal duty, battlefield defeat, and captivity. Drawing closely from documented events while honoring the silences left by history, the story traces friendship, endurance, and loss within a regiment remembered for both its valor and its suffering. The legacy does not end with the war. In the generations that follow, the families of the living and the dead are unexpectedly joined-carrying two names forward, far beyond New York, into Texas and beyond. Mostly fact, carefully imagined, and written in the spirit of remembrance, this is a story of how some men came home-and how others never truly left.
