The author might be trying to say that there we good people on both side.  He also finds out about all the wastes of war.  And to never lose hope.

This story is about, courage, love, jealousy, betrail, and greed. 

One problem in this story is, the war is going on, and to make the war end faster, Jeff joins.

1. In the beginning Jeff joins the army, and on the way he meets with some of his friends that want to go with him.

2. Jeff joins the army and he is put in the Kansas volunteer infantry along with his friends.  At first when he joins the training is really hard.

3.In the first battle that he was going to fight in he was called back to go and find the quarter master.  But Jeff did not want to leave from his first battle. But he had to go anyway. And he meets a really pretty girl called Lucy washbourne.

4. Later in the story Jeff is order to go into the enemy camp as a spy and find out the generals plans.  He goes with one of his friends that lies to the other army that they wanted to join.

5. Jeff's friend dies in the middle a battle by his own people so Jeff is left all alone.  Later Jeff finds out some very important new that some one in the union were selling really good guns to the south.

6. Jeff rides out to go and tell the new to general blunt.   In the end of the story Jeff is promoted to a Sargent and he leaves for home. 

I thought the book was really good.  Not to much detail and very exciting.
I really liked it how it was exciting, it was a war book but it didn't really have that mush language in it.
In some parts it did get a little confusing.
The book was not very predictable.
The ending wasn't very good, it was like it ended in the middle.
