About this book
A whispered command to a dog opens this Civil War adventure set in Missouri during 1862. Concealed in a thicket, a seventeen-year-old boy and Bruno listen as guerrilla leaders discuss taking Fulton and gaining control of the state. Byron A. Dunn places young scouts and messengers amid a struggle fought through scattered raids, secret plans and dangerous rides rather than the movements of one large army.
The action follows Harry through encounters in which quick thinking and Bruno's help can decide whether a warning gets through. An escape from an armed household leads into a race toward Palmyra, where hostile riders are already entering the town. Written for younger readers, the novel combines suspense with a stated interest in Missouri's Union militia. It offers a view of wartime loyalties through overheard conversations, local roads and the practical risks of carrying information.
