A Long Way from Home

CBS Radio Mystery Theater "A Long Way from Home" is a Mystery from Friday, June 9, 1978.

In 1862 a young man and his friend Sam enlist in the Union Army. During their first taste of battle, Sam is fatally wounded and the young man panics. While running from the battlefield, he receives a head wound, which is treated at an army hospital. Later, he finds himself wandering around the Tennessee countryside, trying to find his regiment and explain why his wound was in the back—not in the front—of his head.
