Description

Winner of the 2001 Arthur Tofte Award for Juvenile Fiction! Young Chigger O'Malley is glad when the battered Rebel Army is trapped by floodwaters while retreating from the battlefield at Gettysburg. His father and three older brothers have all been killed while serving in the famed Irish Brigade, and Chigger hopes the Union Army will attack and end the war. But when he and his mother are forced to care for a wounded Rebel officer, the questions of right and wrong -- of friend and enemy -- become much more difficult to answer. - from Amzon
