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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis paperback edition includes an author's note, discussion guide, and selected bibliography for further reading.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoseph Bruchac \u003c\/b\u003eis a highly acclaimed children's book author, poet, novelist and storyteller, as well as a scholar of Native American culture.
