My Vicksburg Ann Rinaldi Reprint edition

Claire Louise Corbett and her Confederate family flee their home as Union soldiers shell their town of Vicksburg, Mississippi. They venture out from the safety of a cave only three times a day, when the Union army takes their meals at eight in the morning, noon, and eight at night. When Claire Louise discovers her brother, a doctor, tending to a Confederate soldier who is responsible for Robert E. Lee?s ?lost order? (causing the South to lose the Battle of Antietam), she is forced to make a difficult choice between family and friends.
