About the Book Rifles For Watie
Rifles for Watie by Harold Keith is a historical novel set during the American Civil War. The story follows Jefferson Davis Bussey, a 16-year-old boy from Kansas who enlists in the Union Army in 1861. Jeff’s journey is filled with excitement, danger, and personal growth as he navigates the complexities of war.
Jeff begins his service as an infantryman but soon finds himself involved in various missions, including a dangerous assignment to infiltrate Confederate forces. Along the way, he encounters historical figures like General Stand Watie, a Cherokee leader fighting for the Confederacy.
The novel explores themes of courage, loyalty, and the moral dilemmas of war. Jeff’s experiences lead him to question the efficacy of war and the impact it has on young soldiers. He also forms unexpected friendships, including a romantic connection with a Confederate girl named Lucy Washbourne.
Keith’s meticulous research and interviews with Civil War veterans lend authenticity to the story, making it a compelling read for young adults and history enthusiasts alike.
