"While trying to transport food to Richmond, Virginia, during the Civil War, fourteen-year-old Johnny is captured by a black Union soldier, Cush. The two of them eventually become unlikely friends and at the end of the war travel together back to their home. Cush wants Johnny to teach him to read. Johnny thinks it is improper to teach a black person to read and struggles with the request, especially since Cush's choice of reading material is Lincoln's Gettysburg Address."

"Great book, involves a kid named Johney who has a hatred for the yankee's after they killed his father. Johney enraged forgets about what his father said and goes of to war, or driving a cart in the war. He dodges bullets for a while then he is caught by a union soldier, named cush. He is no ordinary soldier though, he is a darky. Cush orders johney around and johney doesn't have a choice, all in all he feels guilty about lieing to his pa before he died and a whole mess of other stuff. If you like historical fiction then you'll love this."
