His dreams of glory vanish, when he is wounded and taken prisoner in his first battle at Cold Harbor, Virginia, and confined to the Confederate prison camp at Andersonville, where 30,000 soldiers face violence, disease and starvation. Frightened and disillusioned, Jake takes up with Billy Sharp, an unscrupulous opportunist who shows him how to survive, no matter what the cost. By the war's end Jake's sleep is haunted by the ghosts of those who have died so he could live. When the camp is liberated, Jake and Billy head north on a Mississippi riverboat. Unknown to Jake, the fateful journey up river will come closer to killing him than Andersonville did, but it will also provide him with his one chance at redemption. 586 8 $a A Junior Library Guild selection 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Juvenile fiction. 610 20 $a Andersonville Prison $v Juvenile fiction. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 1861-1865 (Guerre de SeÌcession) $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 651 1 $a United States $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Young adult fiction. 941 $a 3 952 $l LEPI975 $d 20180202015832.0 952 $l SBPB074 $d 20160825022409.0 952 $l KUSX993 $d 20100913085519.0 $m E F Wil 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CB437132FBD011DEB3E93EDF5F36B428 994 $a 02 $b IWVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
