In a war in which more than a quarter million boys age seventeen and under fought in the opposing armies, Journey Into Darkness, a researched blend of fact and fiction, is about a young boy in the Civil War.

Originally published in four books at the request of a young reader on behalf of others who don't like thick books. "This would be an excellent resource for middle school American history classes, giving a boy's-eye view of the Civil War and reminding students that kids their own age were caught up in active duty during the war." - Blue Ink Review
