Bull Run
Fleischman brings to life the first battle of the Civil War by showing it through the eyes of 16 divergent people of different sexes, colors and ages from both the North and the South. A fife-playing boy, a slave accompanying her master, a horse lover who only wants a chance to have a horse of his own, a saddened doctor to a grieving sister; all portray the horror of the war through their own viewpoint and experience.
