Summary:

This is my favorite kind of book - historical fiction based on actual events. Captured! A Boy Trapped in the Civil War, is the story of a Kentucky boy who was commandeered, along with his cart and horse, into the service of the Confederate Army. He was forced to participate in a battle, was captured as a prisoner of war and sent to Camp Morton in Indianapolis, Indiana. After several months in the POW camp, the men who had taken him from his home petition the camp commander to release him since in reality he was not a Conferate soldier.
