If you’re into Civil War stories from a fresh angle, you gotta check out *Ride Proud, Rebel!* by Andre Norton. It’s not your typical battle-heavy tale. Instead, you’re riding right alongside Drew Rennie—ha! Look it up; this is actually the *alternate* title for *Ride Proud, Rebel*—ah, sorry, got my brain scrambled there. So here’s the deal: Drew is a young Kentucky soldier who’s fighting for the Confederacy, but he’s not all gung-ho about it. Secretly, he feels pretty lousy inside, haunted by family scars and tired of war. The big mystery kicks off when he gets tossed into a terrible prison camp, then manages to escape. Now he’s stuck deep in enemy territory with only his wits, a handful of friends (who he’s not sure he can trust), and a sneaking suspicion that peace might be winning this bitter conflict in ways he didn’t see coming. I mean, *could* it be that love and connection run deeper than all this hatred—hmm, worth finding out?
