In this fast-paced and engaging novel for young adults, Barrett Dowell captures the drama of the pivotal Second Battle of Manassas from the point of view of a Virginia youth who travels from his home outside Warrenton with an important message for General Robert E. Lee. Chadwick Curtis is not a soldier, and he has yet to make up his mind on what it means for a state to secede from the Union. Like many members of plantation families, he values his way of life and resists the Unions impulse to change it. But he also grapples with moral questions: Slavery, his father said on his deathbed, is wrong; freeing the family slaves is the moral thing to do. War, Chadwick comes to believe, is also wrong, for the costs are to grave and the spoils to hard won. In the week it takes him to ride north in search of the famed general, Chadwick is witness to the brutality of war, to the courage of those who fight it, and the growth of his own character and that of his companion, his eleven -year- old brother Brett.

What do two frontier kids do when the Confederate Army steals their Pa while they are out fishing? They hitch up their pony cart and go searching for him, of course. Josie was only 13 and Aksel 10, but they were quite self-reliant and used to doing for themselves on their Missouri farm. Their Ma died 4 years ago and now Pa was gone too. They were determined to seek out General Robert E. Lee to ask if Pa could go home with them. It was a perilous journey, the Confederates and the Union armies were battling throughout their travels. They stumbled upon the remains of battles and horrifically wounded soldiers. Their Pa had taught them to never let anyone or anything suffer, so it was pure instinct for them to help. They bandaged soldiers using strips of their own clothing and saved as many as they could. They wintered with war-torn families who offered to take them in permanently but they were determined to find their Pa. Because they were children, soldiers, officers, and Generals from both sides tried to send them to somewhere away from the war but did help them however they could. They didn't know it was an adventure. To them it was simply staying alive and trying to get Pa back against all odds. They grew up beyond their youth in the 2 desperate years of searching.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XII. GETTYSBURG. The fifth commander of the Army of the Potomac was Major-General George Gordon Meade, then in command of the Fifth Corps. This officer was born in Cadiz, Spain, in December, 1815, and was consequently forty-six years old. He graduated at West Point in 1835, and was assigned to the artillery arm of the service. A year afterward he resigned from the army, but after six years was reappointed second lieutenant of the Topographical Engineers, and was in Mexico on General Patterson's staff. Meade's father served as a private soldier in the Pennsylvania troops to suppress the "Whisky Insurrection" in western Pennsylvania, and therefore was under General Lee's father, who commanded the forces raised for that purpose. He was afterward a merchant, a shipowner, and a navy agent in Cadiz, but shortly after his son's birth returned to the United States. In justice to this officer, it may be said that he protested against being placed in command of an army that had been looking toward Reynolds as Hooker's successor, but, loyal to authority, he assumed the command in obedience to orders. His position was environed with difficulties, for he was ignorant of Hooker's plans. Awakened from sleep by General Hardee, the War Department messenger, he had not much time to get any knowledge of them from Hooker, while a battle in the next few days could not be avoided. He determined to continue the move northward through Maryland into Pennsylvania, and force Lee to give battle before he could cross the Susquehanna. After two days' march, he received information that Lee was concentrating and coming toward him, and he at once began to prepare the line of Pipe Creek to await his approach and fight a defensive battle. On the night of June...
