Summary: 5 Stars
I only have a couple things to say. One, this is the best book I have ever read. I will probally read it 10 more times it is so good. Kieth describes his characters so fantasticly that it seems as if they were actual people. It is about a 16-year old named Jefferson Davis Bussey or Jeff who's family gets buswhacked. After that Jeff had had enough, wich sends him and his buddies to Fort Leavenworth to enlist in the Kansas Volunteers. First Jeff is in the Infrantry then the Calvary and then a general makes him and a comrade spies in the Confederate Army. He has to survive the war then pick, will he go back to his family or stay with his crush?Book Review: Better than expected

When I first saw this book, I thought it might be lightweight easy reading. I was surprised and delighted to find that it went much deeper than I originally expected. Rifles for Watie is a very good fictional book for teens as well as adults. Even though it is fiction, you learn something and you feel something.Book Review: Classic Civil War Adventure, "Great Fun"
Summary: 5 Stars
I first discovered this book when my school librarian aunt brought home a copy one summer to preview. It become probably my favorite library book from 4th to 12th grade. I probably checked it out 20+ times. "Rifles.." recounts the adventures of Jeff Bussey during the western campaigns of the Civil War in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Missouri. It tells of friendships on both sides of the war. His love of the rebel girl Lucy, his friend Noah the tramp printer and the life of a common Union soldier and a Rebel Cavalryman. The book recounts battles and the small world within them that a soldier plays, often missing the large results that are defined with the outcome. It tells of courage, and fear and determination as Jeff is pursued for miles in his daring escape from the Confederate army.
This book you must include in your home library. I still pick up my copy and read it again, still as enjoyable as the first time back in Idaho.
Book Review: Couldn't put this book down!!!
