About This Book
Two young friends, one African American, one Caucasian, explore the grassy fields near the construction site of their new homes. In 1862, this area was a Civil War battleground, and one boy's father explains what may have occurred between the North and South on their property. Colorful illustrations add to this look into the past.About the Authors or Illustrators
