Extended description

A wealthy kid becomes a Civil War soldier in this epic coming-of-age novel. When Daniel Stuart finishes his Harvard freshman term in June 1862, he learns life at home isn't as fun as college. He squabbles with his brother Erik, rejects a future in law, and escapes to his garden. A pretty maid named Mary sympathizes, but his three school friends have 'got their skirts on fire' and dream of battlefield glory.

Against his family's wishes, Daniel enlists as a private in the Civil War. Join Daniel and his friends - brash Andrew, scholar Matthew, and gentle David - as they train at Fort Ellsworth, fight at Second Bull Run, skirmish in Fredericksburg, and battle Confederates in Chancellorsville. This memoir-esque Civil War account is a gripping story of love, loss, sacrifice, and friendship.

For Daniel can never return to his garden, but his friendships and his love for Mary are worth fighting for.
