About this ebook
Tobey Doherty is an orphaned Irish Traveller-turned New York City "dock rat." Danny "Gorry" McGorry is a cross- dressing thief. Fleeing the brutality of the streets, the two immigrant teenagers enlist in the Union Army at the start of the American Civil War.
As they fall in in with a regiment of gangsters, brawlers, and "b'hoys," Tobey and Gorry must battle to survive their own rowdy comrades—and, at times, each other—before they even face the Confederates. In the midst of the Peninsula Campaign of 1862, their friendship blossoms into something else entirely. Can these two misfits find love and beauty amid the ugliness of war, or will their paths lead only to battle scars and body lice?
