You and your friends have longed to see action firsthand in what they're calling the War of Secession. But apart from your make-believe battles, you've never even laid eyes on a real rebel soldier. Until now. Now, as the world outside explodes with cannon fire and the cries of the wounded, you find yourself crouched in terror in an abandoned farm. As the clamor dies down you muster your courage to peek outside. "Please put your hands up," says a genteel Southern voice. Shaking and suddenly cold you raise your hands and turn around slowly. It is a confederate officer. Reckoning you ought to know the local terrain, he offers to take you to his commanding officer, the legendary General Robert E. Lee. He says he won't shoot you if you run, but you wonder. You're being offered the chance to play a pivotal role in history. But should you help the general whose army is overrunning your town? If You agree to meet the revered General, turn to page 25. If you decide to make a break for Gettysburg and check on your family's safety, turn to page 10. Think very carefully before you decide. Tens of thousands of lives are at stake—including your own! What happens next in the story? It all depends on the choices YOU make. How does the story end? Only YOU can find out! And the best part is that you can keep reading and rereading until you've had not one but MANY incredibly daring experiences!
