Produktbeschreibung
There is so much written about the Civil War, from battles to generals and everything in between; however, missing from these records are the accounts of the young people who were affected. Born into circumstances beyond their control, these children of the Confederacy found themselves face to face with empty fields and kitchens, fathers and brothers who never came home, and lives cut far too short. This collection of true accounts presents the voices of those who have so rarely been heard: the teenaged amputee and the not-yet-grown-up prisoner of war. Finally, readers can experience what it was like to be barely twenty years old and a spy or a young woman who was responsible for leading a general. A riveting look at the Civil War through the eyes of emerging adults, this book is unlike any other in scope and subject. Debra West Smith is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and has been named to the Louisiana State Artist Roster for her excellence in presentations regarding local and state history on the school and library level. Using inspiration from her upbringing, including stories told by her grandfather, Smith has published several books with Pelican, including Hattie Marshall and the Hurricane, Hattie Marshall and the Prowling Panther, Hattie Marshall and the Dangerous Fire, and Yankees on the Doorstep: The Story of Sarah Morgan.

Autorenporträt
Debra West Smith's earliest memories involve a fascination with both horses and books. She spent the first part of her life with her grandparents in Natchitoches, Louisiana. There, she enjoyed a quiet, serene life where she spent most of her time developing a love for reading. Inspiration for the Hattie Marshall series came from stories the author's grandfather used to tell about his younger days in East Texas.
