Publisher's summary

Tormented by Southern partisans, Missouri farm boy Caleb Cole joins the Union's 18th Missouri. About the same time, down on the Texas coast, violin-playing Ryan McCalla, from a well-to-do family, enlists in the Confederacy's Second Texas - mainly in the spirit of adventure - with some friends.

The two teenagers are about to grow up quickly.

Fate will bring the two together - along with a teenage girl from Corinth, Mississippi, when the Confederate and Union armies clash at Shiloh, Tennessee, and then again in the town of Corinth.

They will learn that war is far from glorious.

Excellent book!

I like how the book covers both a Union soldier and, and a confederate soldiers time during the war. Both boys grew up differently, and went to the war for different reasons, but when it was time for human compassion when there was hardly any. They both did what many others wouldn’t.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
