CAUGHT IN THE REBEL CAMP, Introducing Frederick Douglass -- The Civil War has just begun, and the controversy between the North and the South continues to heat up.

The boy feels good for nothing until Frederick Douglass recommends Danny as the caretaker of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw''s horses. Danny knows the importance of this task, and he''s confident he will do an excellent job. But when the colonel''s own horse escapes one night, Danny goes after him, only to find himself inside the Confederate soldiers'' fort. In terror, he remembers the Fifty-Fourth''s plans of immediate attack-what if the battle begins while he is inside? When Danny sees that the Confederates are making their own plans for the attack, Danny realizes that the Union soldiers are being set up for a trap! Can Danny escape in time to warn his troops?
