Shades of the Wilderness
The war has turned against the South, and young Harry Kenton knows it. As Confederate armies retreat from Gettysburg, Harry and his friends face the brutal reality of a cause beginning to crumble. From the smoke of the Wilderness to the blood-soaked trenches of Spottsylvania and the desperate siege of Petersburg, Harry must hold onto courage when everything around him is falling apart. Altsheler paints the Civil War not as politics or abstraction, but as boys becoming men in the midst of history's most brutal school. The humanity of Lee's final defense, the weight of inevitable defeat, the friendships forged in fire all converge in this gripping installment. For readers who want to understand what war actually costs, told through eyes young enough to still believe in glory before it becomes a memory.
