Sinopse
O veterano da Guerra Civil, Josiah Gray, chega a uma pequena cidade para ser ministro do evangelho. Com o tempo, ele constitui família e muitos amigos, mas também enfrenta atritos com alguns de seus paroquianos. Um jovem médico se irrita com o que considera ser a interferência do pároco no tratamento científico de pacientes, e um proprietário de mina se ressente da proteção de Gray a um velho arrendatário cujo pequeno pedaço de terra o impede de continuar minerando. Gray precisa enfrentar uma crise de saúde pública e, como consequência, um linchamento, tudo visto e descrito pelos olhos e pela memória de seu jovem sobrinho, John.
