Taken By The Enemy

Oliver Optic wrote some 125 books and more than a thousand stories for children. Among the best of these stories is The Blue and the Gray Series about the War Between the States. This is the first book in that series of six and introduces characters and events which figure in the subsequent books of the series. This book makes the events of the Civil War real and personal to the young reader and gives a historical picture of that war that will broaden their view of this period of our history.
