![]() ![]() This obtrusive cast's search becomes ever more daunting. Ben is joined first by Reuben's dog Captain, an extremely loyal and capable hunter with "the best nose in three counties," quickly followed by Ben's "pesky" 11-year-old cousin Danny, a spoiled only child, and a runaway milk cow. Twelve-year-old Ben sets off secretly from Lancaster to find his older brother, Reuben ("fifteen years older than Ben, and more like a father than a brother really"), an officer in the 106th Pennsylvania Company A, and bring him back to run the family store after their father's death. Set during some of the most decisive days of the Civil War, Crisp's ( Buzzard Breath) contrived historical novel thrusts a ragtag crew on a seemingly impossible quest. ![]()
