He is so frightened that he cannot shoot. Soon after wards he gets used to it as his regiment fights more battles. As it gets deeper into the story, many of Henry's friends are killed in battle. Evaluate Review: This is a great book to use during a Civil War unit. The plot of the story is identified with the Civil War but as one reads deeper is about fears, hopes, and dreams of a youth caught up in the war. All Students can relate to this book because they are around the same age as the main character. The language is very descriptive and really puts the reader in the book.
