In this gripping episode of the CBS Radio Mystery Theater, hosted by EG Marshall, we delve into the haunting tale "A Long Way From Home," based on a classic short story by Ambrose Bierce. The story is set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, where two young men from Ohio, Sam and his friend, enlist in the Union Army. As they face the horrors of war, a tragic incident leaves Sam fatally wounded, and his friend grapples with guilt and fear, leading to a mysterious head injury that alters his perception of time and reality.

As the narrative unfolds, the young soldier finds himself wandering through a surreal landscape, struggling to piece together his past and present. He encounters various characters, including a doctor and a young woman, who help him uncover the truth about his condition and the passage of time. The episode explores themes of courage, cowardice, and the psychological scars of war, culminating in a poignant revelation about the soldier's identity and the lasting impact of the Civil War. Join us for a journey through history, memory, and the human spirit.
