Matty's War

Matty Trescott #1

by Carroll Thomas, Carole Shmurak, Tom Ratliff

It’s Christmas 1863, and Matty Trescott has just arrived in Simsbury, Connecticut, to live with Cousin Neely and her family. Her farm in Kansas has been burned by Confederate raiders, her father and brother have joined the Union Army, and she has been sent to Connecticut for her safety. But Matty has other plans that will take her far away from New England. Soon Matty heads for New Haven hoping to enlist in the Union army.
“Offers a little-known perspective on women’s roles in the Civil War and will likely please historical fiction fans.” Publishers Weekly
