"This is one of Mr. Steele's best books, an engrossing, realistic
story of a Tennessee mountain boy who, during the Civil War, comes
to realize that war is terrible no matter where
one's sympathies lie."--Publishers Weekly

A gritty, you-are-there look at the Civil War makes a solid, compelling listen as William O. Steele's 1959 Newbery Honor book, The Perilous Road, comes to audio. With often steely sounding determination and a slight southern twang, Ram?n de Ocampo narrates as bitter Tennessee teen Chris Brabson, who hates Yankees and the many confusing battle lines that arise in a nasty war. Steele's 1954 wilderness survival story, Winter Danger, is simultaneously released. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
