Summary: Josh's Book Review
Review: This book is about the hardships and struggles during the Civil War. Jeff Bussey, a farmer boy, heard about the new war and is very exited. He is very eager to join the volunteer army. He left his farm, mother, and Father, and goes out to fight against the rebel army. Lead by the half-blooded Stand Watie. During the War, Jeff sees many of his new friends die. Jeff discovers a rebel girl that he really likes named Lucy. Then Jeff is sent o spy on the rebel side. He finds the rebels are not so bad and Jeff starts to admire Watie. In the rest of the book Jeff had to decide if he should stay with the rebel side or the union side. This action packed historical fiction should be highly rated. You can feel the troops live through the War conditions while you read this book. If you are looking for a great book to read you should read, "Rifles for Watie."

Summary: this book is real close to the truth
Review: this book is so close to the truth about the civil war that it is a must read. I have studied the civil war for several years and when I read this book It tought me stuff I didn't know about the times and the wars that happened especially the not so famous wars.
It also tought me alot about the behaviors of the officers and of the soldiers. Since i joined the army sometimes I thought I had a hard time because they didn't feed us that much and some of the punishments are alot different today than back then but alot of the horrors of war are the same like being in the infantry is still similar in some cases and the calvary is alot different in some ways but the same in other ways.
