Remarkable book

This is a remarkable book that manages to cover a large part of the Civil War, from the waters off the coast of Maine, to Gettysburg, and into Andersonville prison itself, as a young boy, refusing to believe that his brother is a coward, sets off in search of him. The story is beautifully told, and is obviously a labor of love. This should have become an immediate classic, but instead it's out of print. I read this with my 9 and 12 year olds. We couldn't put it down. Everyday, after school, my kids would get home, grab the book, hand it to me, and command "Read". I happily complied.
