From the award-winning author of Code Talker comes a Native American perspective on the Civil War in this gripping young adult historical novel. A fine choice for readers who want war stories that include plenty of action, as well as reflection.--Booklist A carefully researched novel . . . the many details will give [young adults] a good feel for what the war was like for those who fought in it.--KLIATT, starred review
Louis Nolette is not American or Irish; he's an Abenaki Indian from Canada. He's also just fifteen years old. But none of this stops him from joining the Fighting 69th, the Irish Brigade known for its courage and ferocity in battle, during the final years of the Civil War. Louis feels compelled to join up because of the North's commitment to end slavery as well as the promise of good wages. But war is never what you expect; and as he fights in battle after battle, Louis discovers prejudice and acceptance, courage and cowardice, and strong and weak leadership in the most surprising places. This paperback edition includes an author's note, discussion guide, and selected bibliography for further reading.
