137 pp. | Scholastic | October, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-439-35364-5 $$10.95
(4) 4-6 My Name Is America series. Leaving home because of his abusive stepfather, sixteen-year-old Rufus Rowe finds shelter at a soon-abandoned plantation, where he sees and records events surrounding the Battle of Fredericksburg in 1862. His journal is mostly plausible and accurate, but some observations seem preternaturally wise. An afterword includes black-and-white period photographs.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
