Publisher's summary

A vivid portrayal of the Civil War, and a look at the reasons behind the conflict. Johnny Heller, 14, convinces his mother to let him join a wagon train carrying food to Confederate soldiers. Along the way he’s captured by Blue Coats, and a black Union soldier insists that Johnny teach him to read. Brought up to believe that black people are inferior, Johnny deliberately tricks him. But as they get to know each other an uneasy alliance develops, followed by a friendship that surprises them both.

Another winner from Audible‼️

I love novels about the Civil War. The books i usually read are 20 hours or more but when I saw this short one from audible I thought I’ll give it a try. I was not disappointed.

It’s a very realistic story done very realistically by the narrators and I thoroughly enjoyed it. And I highly recommend it.

With every drop of blood

This was definitely different from most books I have read about the civil war. It took me a while to warm up to it. Once I did I felt like I was part of the story riding in that wagon with Johnny and Cush. The authors brought the story alive with vivid descriptions. Easy listening I would recommend as a mixture of fact and fiction.
