The other sounded as if he meant it, as if he were swearing the oath of allegiance to the regiment. But could he take it? A few days on the run, and Boyd would probably quit. Maybe if they got into some town and the Yankees didn't smoke them out right away, Drew could send a telegram and Boyd would be collected.

Excellent history
Norton obviously did a lot of research for this book. It is the story of a boy who joined the Confederates and became a man through the years of war. Definitely gives a feel for what the men faced during those terrible years, and the comradship among the soldiers. Definitely recomme

Young Drew Rennie's adventures during the Civil War.
This book is told in an unromantic, realistic way that brings the time to painful life. Drew rides under General Forrest, which is interesting. Most people avoid Forrest for his involvement in either Fort Pillow, or his post war activities. Howeve
