Description

There are plenty of books about the Civil war, highlighting major battles and heroes, but few tell of the day-to-day struggles of "ordinary" people. This stirring novel tells of two teen-age brothers who fought, not for slavery, but for their home, the South. When an unexpected visitor drops in, Gant and his younger brother, Ben, decide to join the army. Or, at least in Ben's case, try. Even though he is 14, he is so short almost everybody believes he's only 10! Finally, he is accepted as an Iron Scout. Ride along with Ben Fane as he meets war, the excitement of a successful raid, the disappointment of losing a battle, and the constant fear of being captured. Adventure you'll never forget.

Publisher's Description of Iron Scouts of the Confederacy
Follow the adventures of two orphaned teenage brothers who grow up as Confederate soldiers during the War Between the States (the Civil War). Challenged to defend their homeland against overwhelming odds, they learn a great deal about themselves and the faithfulness of God as they realize the terrible price the South will have to pay for its beliefs.

This book is perfect for those older students who need supplemental reading material that is highly interesting and action-packed.
