Rifles for Watie by Harold Keith Book Summary

Winner of the Newbery Medal * An ALA Notable Children’s Book * Winner of the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award

A captivating and richly detailed novel about one young soldier who saw the Civil War from both sides and lived to tell the tale.

Earnest, plain-spoken sixteen-year-old Jeff Bussey has finally gotten his father’s consent to join the Union volunteers. It’s 1861 in Linn County, Kansas, and Jeff is eager to fight for the North before the war is over, which he’s sure will be soon.

But weeks turn to months, the marches through fields and woods prove endless, hunger and exhaustion seem to take up permanent residence in Jeff’s bones, and he learns what it really means to fight in battle—and to lose friends. When he finds himself among enemy troops, he’ll have to put his life on the line to advance the Union cause.

Thoroughly researched and based on firsthand accounts, Rifles for Watie “should hold a place with the best Civil War fiction for young people” (The Horn Book).

A strong choice for independent reading and for sharing in a classroom and for homeschooling. As a homeschool cooperative teacher commented: "The book has launched many discussions in our class. When a person is on one side of a conflict, it is important to remember that people on the other side are also people. Jeff is a perfect model for how treating people with respect can happen even in war."

Fond memories. I read this book back in the fifth grade, here I am 22 years old with my daughter on my lap and husband by my side finishing my favorite book for the umpteenth time. Thank you for a timeless piece.

Quality Read. I’ve read this book roughly 6 times I highly recommend it. Very descriptive and extremely interesting to read.

Perfect. Amazing book. Has the action, the drama and the slight romance. I could say more but I could spoil some of it but all in all this is an amazing civil war book!

Awesome!!. This book is a very educational book about the Civil War. I love the how the author is very distinct about even the little details. I love how my friends and I can read it and can learn about the South and the North.

Sexy. Oh so very sexy
