Details
Rifles for Watie #6331This is a story of the Civil War’s Western campaign, its issues and problems, fought with a different savagery. It tells the stories of the men of both sides who fought in it. At the heart of the story is 16 year-old Jeff Bussey, who joins a regiment of Kansas volunteers. Jeff's idealism is short-lived once he confronts the horrors and barbarism of war; it is replaced by disillusionment, bitterness, fear. And as young Jeff becomes a battle-hardened survivor, he is sent on an assignment behind enemy lines--only to discover the men he is fighting are just like him: cold, tired, hungry, and ready to go home.
