Day and Night: The Story of Tucker and Shiloh in the Civil War

Appaloosy Books - Horses in History

De: Mattie Richardson

Narrado por: M. P. MacDougall

Another delightful tale from Mattie Richardson, straight from the horse's mouth!

This one follows Tucker and Shiloh, two young horses during the American Civil War. Young listeners will certainly enjoy this story and learn a thing or two about American History while they're at it! Meticulous research promises historical accuracy in the facts spread throughout this book, and yet the end of the story will leave listeners asking for more.

Back text: The crack! of the cannon and the pop! of rifles...the screeching of the Rebels and yells of the Federal Soldiers are all sounds that can be heard through the fog of blue smoke....

Tucker and Shiloh are two young horses that were separated at the beginning of the Civil War. Though they are brothers, they are as different as day and night. But they are devastated when they are torn apart. One is sold to the US Army, while the other finds his place with a young Confederate soldier yearning for adventure.

Both horses will learn so much about the Civil War and its effect on the land and the people. But will the brothers ever see each other again?

More importantly, will they survive the struggle that claimed more than 600,000 souls?
