Harry Kenton thrills at the opportunity to carry secret messages through dangerous territory, to train with the renowned Invincibles, to engage in combat with experienced soldiers, and to sneak into Washington and spy on the enemy. But in this complicated War Between the States, the enemy turns out to be not only the faceless North but also a beloved cousin, well-liked acquaintances, and respected military leaders. Stirred by a passionate devotion to his southern roots, Harry determines to stand alongside his fellow soldiers in gray and prove the independence and capability of the new nation. Many hope that the horrible rift will be remedied with a minimum of military action, but each skirmish reinforces the tenacity of both sides. As the first major battle intensifies, Harry begins to suspect that Bull Run may not be the end of the conflict. In fact, it may be just the beginning!
Joseph Alexander Altsheler (1862 –1919) was an American author of popular juvenile historical fiction. Altsheler was born in Three Springs, Hart County, Kentucky to Joseph and Louise (Snoddy) Altsheler. In 1885, he took a job at the Louisville Courier-Journal as a reporter and later, an editor. He started working for the New York World in 1892, first as the paper's Hawaiian correspondent and then as the editor of the World's tri-weekly magazine. Due to a lack of suitable stories, he began writing children's stories for the magazine. Altsheler married Sarah Boles on May 30, 1888, and had one son. He and his family were in Germany when World War I began. The difficult journey home took a huge toll on Altsheler's health and he was never the same. He died in New York City in 1919.
